Brae. A gay woman's tale!

You realise what is important. You realise what you need.

No matter how much we ignore the whisper, eventually it becomes so loud we can no longer ignore it.

We can try to mask it… by always being “in pursuit of happiness”… needing the next thrill, the next temporary rush of excitement… which quickly becomes boring.

It is only when we are truly happy and accepting with ourselves, and our faults… that we begin to realise that the secret is not the thrill, but simply the peace. Peace of heart and peace of mind… and that has to come from within.

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvellous day today”! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together!” The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.

… and this is true … people are scared of the truth … scared to be shown up for their lies or their inadequacies … but Karma is a wonderful thing.  It may take a while, but it happens!
