"The etymology of thanks is rooted to the same trunk as think—from Old English þanc, a sort of past tense of think. Sing is to song, as think is to thank. I like this, in that to feel gratitude or thankful is impossible without attention, without thought, without noticing that which fills you with a sense of fondness and connection."
I’m taken with that idea of where and when truth begins. It makes me think of embodiment, and how hard it can be to accept a truth when a person hasn’t experienced it themselves.
The light right now is so horizontal, it always takes the stage in a picture. :) Interesting in that yes, that very elemental understanding of truth as something witnessed or embodied...
