right and wrong are not truth, because they change from mind to mind and from locale to locale. truth cannot exist as a thing that is arbitrarily chosen. it is observed when judgments are laid aside.

yes, fear is a growth tool that can be used positively. for example, you can jump in freezing water to save your child from drowning. that is fear expressed through love. good comment and i will read your poem directly.

I disagree that the truth is simple. The reason I say this is that there are different kinds of truth; individual truth vs. collective truth for example. There are certain truths that the collective decides. Universal truths if you will. Truths such as being gay is morally wrong or murdering someone in cold blood is wrong. But sometimes individual truths disagree with the collective truth. Individuals may see truth as morally restrictive, based on flawed religious doctrine or just plain stupid. Not everybody believes being gay is morally wrong for example.

Dream or nightmare...the choice is ours to make
Love your post, especially the lines about the gift of freedom - your gift is only to yourself because you made up the dream of bondage. To choose freedom, to release the chains of bondage from what we've created in the now...to release the chains, step forward & leap off the cliff - knowing that we can truly fly.

I see fear as something helpful,to overcome obstacles. Seeing everything spiritually is hard for me to accept,I like going against many obstacles.
I wrote another tree poem for you,it seems more spiritual than me.
