Suppose… just suppose that life might not be so much about “what’s right” and “what’s wrong” as it is about “what is in the heart”, “what is possible” and “what could be”? Suppose… just suppose that there is more to life than what meets the eye? 
THE FAÇADE
What if? Life doesn’t unfold in a way that lines up with our expectations?
What if? The cultural values that were so solidly engrained were systematically unravelled by life?
What if? Those things we thought were so important for us to hold on to… turn to sand in our grasp?
THE UNDERCURRENT
What if? We find an undercurrent pulling us in the opposite direction of everything visible and tangible that we can see?
What if? Truth is so elusive because we are taught to look in all the easy, tangible, and visible places?
What if? This truth pulls us deeper into darkness, silence, and mystery instead of upwards into the clouds?
What if? The direction of God is down, down to the ground of our being, deep within our souls; not up to the heavens?
THE JOURNEY
Is it possible? that truth can only be found in one way… to seek it with all one’s heart… within one’s heart?
Is it possible? that truth was never meant to be found out there somewhere?
Is it possible? that truth was never meant to be found… easily… or conveniently?
Is it possible? that there is “that of God” in each person, and herein lies truth… to be quiet and listen?
Is it possible? that it is not our assertions and assumptions, but only our questions, our openness, that lead us deeper into the realm of truth?
Is it possible? that this “realm of truth” is where the great questions of life lead us only into further and deeper questions?
Is it possible? that this realm is not a realm of clearer knowledge, but a more elusive deeper knowing?
Is it possible? that this realm is not a world of words and ideas to agree with (or not) but a sort of intuitive resonating within one’s whole being?
Is it possible? that we can meet others in that “realm of truth”, beyond ideas, philosophies, and religious beliefs; in a place peace, where differences blend into a mosaic of humanity, a reflection of the colorful beauty of all creation?
Could it be… that more is possible than what we think we know?
“Out beyond ideas 
of wrongdoing and rightdoing
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
