The Wild Truth

In "The Journey", a poem about saving one's own life, Mary Oliver tells us:

"It was already late

enough, and a wild night,

and the road full of fallen branches and stones."

Oliver speaks of the truth of a personal journey, the authenticity with which one must live to be fulfilled. And the fact is, the truth is wild. It fells branches grown rotten on the tree. It shakes foundations, sending stones down life's hills. It unearths inaccuracies and lets light shine on hidden facts.

The truth. It's wild. Write about it or one of its forms ~ Truth, Gnosis, Authenticity, Veracity.
