Truth and gratitude

"Truth is Reality beyond perceptual experience." Dr. Libby Adams

Truth is an often misunderstood quality.  A well-known Bible verse tells us that the Truth will set us free.  And, probably all of us have seen the quality of truth misused to advance someone's personal agenda.  Things some humans have thought over the years were true have turned out not to be.  Such as, the world is flat, the earth is the center of the universe, unaffectionate mothers cause autism, one race or gender is more intelligent or more worthy than another.  So, how do we know what is true?  It may be different for everyone, but one way to find truth is through meditation.  Meditation practiced will enable us to discern the voice of Wisdom from our own ego's voice.  Perhaps truth might be the upholding and honoring of every form of life.   What is your truth?  Your compass point?  What is your truth in being a caregiver for dementia?  I am determined to be a caregiver creating an atmosphere of respect and well being -- for us all.  That is a Truth for me.
