Freedom in Truth

There are a few things that I like to do to clear my head  - writing is definitely one of them, whether it be filling the pages of my journal, blogging, or throwing out the occasional "ponder" on twitter and facebook.
The other.. is running.

It's my time - just me, my ipod, the road and my thoughts and lately as I have been running, alot of time has been spent thinking about what is truth for me, particularly as I sense the gentle "nudge" into a new season.
Yesterday, while pounding the pavement, the question that kept racing around my mind was this; "In your absolute quietest moments when its just you, are you satisifed and comfortable with who you are? Is this the life you imagined, do your choices bring you peace? Is your deepest truth reflected in your life?

One of my 'personal truths',  as per my twitter post today, "is that forgiveness and healing go hand in hand". Forgiveness can be very complicated, and what I am learning is that the greater the complication the greater the need for forgiveness.There is a distinct lack of colour in resentment, bitterness and misery and very little liberty and generally these are the shades of unforgiveness.

Today I came face to face with some healing that was found in communicating and releasing some forgivness of my own, and it was completely liberating. I walked away feeling light and breezy, and hopefully with a little more colour back in my cheeks! Winter may be approaching, but a little pop of colour is definitely making a come back for me this season!
