Truth.
How ironic ; how inevitable ; After the stillness, the whirlpool.
She said, she lived a lifetime in those moments and I wondered if she destroyed a lifetime in those moments. What about the lifetimes of those who invariably are a part of her life ? She seized the moments as I watched from the sidelines; a martyr, perhaps living but not alive ? So many questions, so many rights and wrongs; who's to say whats right and what wrong . I've been told its a matter of perception, the truth, but is it really ? Like the seven blind men finding their own 'truth' about the elephant, the fan, the rope..essentially despite their perception of 'truth', the elephant is, what it IS ! It doesn't change even if perceptions do ! Often, the untruths insidiously dress themselves up in lovely little packages, making it oh, so easy, to cloak them as 'perceptions?' Ahhh..the clever little human mind so adept at playing the eternal game of hide-n-seek with itself ! The absolute truths. Unpalatable truths, especially about ourselves.The rights and wrongs are they absolute too ? I grapple with the whirlpool..and.. She, oblivious ,uncaring, lived a lifetime in those moments; SHE glowed, SHE was happy, SHE was alive; That was her truth.

I, too, have searched for the truth, only to hate it when I finally found it.
"she lived a lifetime in those moments and I wondered if she destroyed a lifetime in those moments."
Very nice.
Perception , truth donot matter what are they without their yard stick . The real does not matter what is the real without the dream . The dream does not matter what is a dream ?
Wonderful prose!
The truth is such a relative term. What is nectar for one person could be poison for another. But the truth of the matter is that if you look at yourself in the mirror and confront an issue, are you satisfied with the outcome? If you are, that is the truth. If you squirm, then you know that isn’t the truth. :) Neil

Volcanpoas - Thank you for the visit and the comment. I tried to visit your site but your profile seems to be restricted. Yes, the truth about ourselves defines as nothing else in life.

Neil - Thank you Neil for visitng and the thoughtful comment. I agree totally with the yardstick bit; the problem I guess is that when we squirm, we like to come up with reasons for why we shouldn't be sqirming..lol..we'd like to convince ourselves that we don't need to squirm...btw..are you a blogger ? would definitely like to visit your site .
