The truth is within your own heart and your own soul. When you become lonely and afraid, all the answers you will ever need will be found within yourself. Do not look so frantically out into the world for the answers to your questions. Look within, and ask yourself, "Am I being faithful to my own truth?" Losing that faith is the only real sin against the Goddess Mother. We forget who we are in this world of illusion. And it is the one thing that we must forgive and cure. The Old One will survive in all of her women.

I agree the truth is within. It seems to be built into our DNA.
The problem is deciphering the truth. The truth is not what we wish
it to be, though. Therein lays a problem. We live in the physical
world. We wish physical comforts at the expense of our spiritual
journey. Or we put our ego or self esteem and tie it with physical
possessions. It is easy to be fooled by the physical comforts of
the world. The trick to staying on the middle path is many fold.
(1). If we have any negative emotion, there is an internal
disturbance. Our perceptions are distorted. Therefore, our actions
and speech are likely to be distorted. This is the time of reflection.
(2). Are my actions compassionate, understanding, and full of
empathy? Are my actions reasonable? Or am I overcome with
emotion?
If the answers are in the affirmative, then a correct decision can
be made and one can continue on the middle path. This is only one
lesson to staying on the middle path.

For me the truth is outside , not within.Something we have to reach. Something I want see outside.Something I -only- want to see looking outside. I 'd say the true is within.  |

We live in the physical world this is true. As such there are
scientific facts of reality in which to discover, external truths.
I believe in balance. The proportion to day to night is roughly
equal. Such is how I view our dichotomy of spirit and body.
I will go along, agreeing what is true is inside, as you say.
However, you say truth is external. I believe at most that this
is only half true. I believe that we have a rich internal reality
of truth. It could be semantics and I can agreeably disagree,
that all truth is only external. I believe our emotional feeling
can alert us to felt truth.

Truth is a snow flake
Or harsh words with a friend
Truth is a babys first breath
Or a machine gun nest!
Truth is a lie sometimes
some kind of regret
Truth is some thing
We are'nt sure of yet
Truth is the sunshine
And a long dark night
Truth is sheer terror
and a sheer delight
Truth is the magic
Or the crest of a wave
The sad call of meloncholly
The brave call of war
Truth is nothing
Nothing and all
and we go to it like soldiers
Or it comes to us like a sword
By Me. First draft.
