Looking over the pond, on a lovely sunshiny day, I see what I have never seen. I see everything as beautiful, like always - the Sun, the sky, the water, the trees, the field, the barn, the clouds, ... I have seen all this for many weeks, after moving down to live alone on these wetlands and in the Hermitage. Yet, for the first time in my life, I see Truth, and this is most beautiful, as though an inner luster is radiating from everything, or, possibly better, everything is living inside Truth. Truth has become what I see, here and now, in this epiphany. I stand stunned by Beauty, beside the waters.

Truth is not, finally, an idea or collection of ideas. Truth is not even a presence. Truth is Presence. Truth, ageless, is here and now, alive in this Moment whether recognized or not, and the source and inspiration of Its recognition. That I am recognized by Truth is the preparation for my recognizing Truth. I am seen, to see. We are Truth in communion, and to awaken to this is the joy of living.

We are each a lovely, pure Rose, in the Garden of Grace.
