Truth and love.
Light and warmth.
Without love, truth is cold and harsh.
Without truth, love is suffocating and superficial.
I find that it's so easy, so easy, to swing to one side or the other, to become an extreme conservative or an extreme liberal. Either it's
my way or the high way
or
everything goes.
Also so easy is to abandon all search for truth and love - to engage in the hard work of seeking the center, seeking balance. So easy. Just say,
I don't know.
What a challenge! What a challenge to take a deep breath and decide: I want to be sincere. I don't want to swing to and fro on the pendulum of what I like and don't like and the sensational or easy way. I want to sincerely seek the center.
I challenge myself to seek the center. While I read the ancient scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, for the next 100 days, I challenge myself to find the center of truth and love within these ancient, timeless words.
