How do we communicate truth? By defining, illustrating, pointing. By living.
By listening. Sharing. Praying.
Do we communicate for the sake of our ego (to advertise our knowledge) or as a gift? Perhaps our motives inform the outcome.
I want to communicate that since I joined the Catholic church I am a better person, more engaged, kinder, a better listener, less anxious, more giving, more in control.
Also, I take more risks. I am less afraid of failure, lack of success, death.
In short, I believe I have more, and that I give more. How do I communicate this without talking about myself? Because, I know this has to do with God, not with me. Not with me at all.
Not at all. Not one bit. I have nothing to say about myself beyond what I say to myself on occasion, to remind myself what God has done for me, to give praise.
How do I communicate this to be faithful to what I have received?
I do not know, except to write poems, post the occasional blog with this or that observation. I am never so knowing of my emptiness as when God has helped me to be strong and free.
