There is something to be said for silence. To quiet your mind, to refocus, to breathe, to let go of old perceptions, once held as truth. Truth doesn't change, but our view of what we held as truth can, and should. As children, we don't have full knowledge or ability to grasp certain concepts, so we are quick to believe what we see and hear as truth. As we mature, we find that many truths are veiled, or there are layers to something, that must be uncovered, to reveal the full scope of the truth on that matter.

My spiritual journey has been one of those layered things, that I am still digging into, peeling back the things I once held as truth, and finding so much more than my family, culture, and tradition taught me. To say it's been a challenging journey thus far, doesn't touch the depth of conflict, and emotion, but I'm here.

I want to remove all the layers, and find my true self, and the truths I need to live by as they are unfolding. Truth and beauty are everywhere if you look for them, and you quiet yourself to see and hear.

Safe travels, fellow seekers!
