In This Situation


Do I already know the truth?
Perhaps I do and perhaps I don't.
Perhaps I don't want to know the truth.
Perhaps I know the truth fully but
I don't want to accept it.

or

am I entirely deceived and have no idea
what the truth in this situation is.

or

is the truth only what
I want it to be, and
all other possibilities
are out of the question.

I think I know
what the truth is

but am I willing to receive it
and do I want to believe it.

ah, this renders your research of truth very well.
There are indeed truths we don't like to acknowledge...
Your heart knows.
Love, Margherita

This should go alongside things like "If" and "Desiderata".

Your next book should be a best seller.

James,
Depends, do you trust her? And do you trust yourself? I trust you'll figure it out.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
