openness and telling the truth
Sep. 5th, 2006 12:11 pmi keep coming back around to this little piece of writing, a quote from bell hooks, and so here i am again:
"There are some folks for whom openness is not about the luxury of "will I choose to share this or that," but rather "will I survive -- will I stay alive?" and openness is about how to be well and telling the truth is about how to put the broken bits & pieces of the heart back together again. It is about being whole, being wholehearted."
that's not everything, but it's some of the important bits. sometime soon i want to sit down and write a good bit more on how i approach honesty and openness, but right now it's time for breakfast and hopefully getting a little bit of work done.
