Living with intention, integrity and courage takes practice. This month's invitation focuses on speaking your truth. May it support your core foundation to live with heart and action.

February's Touchstone: Speak your truth in ways that respect other people’s truth. Speak from your center, using “i” statements, trusting people to do their own sifting and winnowing.

Poem:

We are all on a Journey Together

We are all on a journey together . . .

To the center of the universe . . .

Look deep

Into yourself, into another.

It is to the center which is everywhere

That is the holy journey . . .

First you need only look:

Notice and honor the radiance of

Everything about you . . .

Play in this universe. Tend

All these shining things around you:

The smallest plant, the creatures and

objects in your care.

Be gentle and nurture. Listen . . .

As we experience and accept

All that we really are . . .

We grow in care.

We begin to embrace others

As ourselves, and learn to live

As one among many . . .

~ by Anne Hillman
