God, Truth, Dharma, Awakening, Consciousness, the Depth of your Soul,
Is not found in the texts that I read at night, to reassure myself, nor in the memories of words heard that I try to summon as an echo to a past experience.
As magnificent and luminous as they may be…
It is in my body lying in the darkness, the lamp that goes out, once all the books are closed,
There, the magma of swirling thoughts, the abrupt honesty of what is.
The waves of breathing runs through it all, above, below, the needle of consciousness, somewhere, along the seam.
The inner gaze which widens passes through the fabric,
The thoughts are still there, as they are, trifling, now.
Notes & Silence 
Honesty involves standing aside from distraction. Observing, and just « being ».

honesty is great word for our practice.
I think that is what I mean when I say ‘truth’. (the T word you dislike)
More than ‘truth’, I mean ‘in truth’, which means ‘honestly’

Truthfully?
