This morning’s reading from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo is about freeing ourselves through truth.
“It’s hard to tell the truth, but once told, it’s hard to keep it back.”
Nepo reminds us that hiding our truth is like holding our breath. You can do it—but only for so long. The longer we keep what’s real locked inside, the more pressure builds. And yet, we’re never far from freedom. Just one breath. One honest release. One moment of courage away from returning to the open.
Truth isn’t just something we say—it’s something we breathe.
Today’s practice:
Take a few moments to center yourself. As you breathe, imagine you’re inhaling your truth… and exhaling it freely into the world.
