I got in a heated discussion with a filmmaker friend on Saturday about truth, relationships, growth, and Spirit. I gave him my standard refrain – I want someone who can handle my truth without fear and who is willing to bring theirs without fear<\/em>. He said: There are many truths. <\/p>\n

At the end of an intense back and forth, he said, “You’re ready.” And then he started filming.<\/p>\n

Ready for love<\/em>
\nReady to f l y
\nReady for now<\/em><\/p>\n

The state of grace in a relationship involves absolute truthfulness between two people, between two things, or between a person and a thing, without fear or deception and with a certainty of acceptance. It means not only honesty with the other person, but also honesty with yourself. Otherwise, what is at work is not Spirit, but something else.<\/p>\n

— Sobonfu Som\u00e9, “Falling Out of Grace”, p. 103.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There must be a certainty of acceptance<\/em>. There are times when loved ones cannot accept or forgive trespasses. It’s happened to me both ways. <\/p>\n

[Non sequiter]: My friend who is unavailable, I say to you, I’m ready, I feel the heat between you and me, indeed, but I’m ready for someone available. You<\/em>, I guess I’ll see you next lifetime. <\/p>\n
