Quote of the Day

Adri told us, "LOVING IS NOTHING WITHOUT TRUTH."

I think we really understood, for the first time, how different our lives -- and the world -- would be if we could all operate out of a state of truth and love. Within a loving context it becomes safe to reveal one's own truth. In retrospect we could see that suppressing truth limited our ability to love one another. And when we limit our truth, we limit our lives.

~ from A CHILD OF ETERNITY by Adriana Rocha and Kristi Jorde
