We need to see the subtle difference between the truth and the true. Truth is about accuracy, whilst being true is about intention.*
Erwin McManus

The dream of prayer and art is to come nearer, even to slip through to dwell for a while in the vicinity of the essence.**
John O’Donohue

Yesterday, my wife and I
found ourselves on the wrong end
of the M6 motorway being closed all day;
It wasn’t that we had an impossible task returning home, but
it was going to take longer and
put on a load more miles.

If you find yourself wondering if you’re in the wrong place,
Or doing the wrong work, or you’ve made a critical mistake,
Or have lost that sense of purpose that once was yours,
The good news is that
returning to where you need to be is not impossible,
It’s just inconvenient, and yet,
Being true to yourself is always worth it.
