Inviting Truth

If we have a burning question we feel the need to ask (of ourselves or another in our lives), we should say a prayer for the gift of illumination, summon our courage, take a deep breath, and ask it.  Even if the answer is one we didn't think or know we were ready to hear, and even if it requires us to take action we didn't think or know we were ready to take, our lives will be richer for having been lived in truth.
