Everything is far more interconnected than most people realize. Resolving to bring that which is hidden in your own life into the light of truth will open your eyes further and further and give you the ability to spot hidden truths in larger and larger ways. The fight for humanity's future begins at your own eyelids.
So, may all be revealed.
Whether it's big or small, whether it's convenient or inconvenient.
In ourselves and in our world, in the expected places and in the unexpected places.
May all be revealed.
Whether it's truths we were hoping to find or truths we were hoping we would not find.
Whether it's revelations that make us feel vindicated or revelations which make us eat crow.
May all be revealed.
In our minds and in our lives, in our families and in our relationships.
In our culture and in our society, in our nation and in our government.
May all be revealed.
May we be brave enough to want the truth, even if it affects us personally.
Even if it makes us burn with shame, or howl with grief, or shake with anger, or just feel really dumb for a second or two.
Even if it means monsters dissolve as illusions before our eyes, or the seemingly benign reveals itself as malignant.
Even if it means making friends of old enemies or enemies of old friends.
Even if it means giving up our precious plans, or diverting off a well-worn path, or letting go of safety and comfort to allow our life to re-calibrate itself into a more truthful arrangement.
