Excerpt from The Story of Love & Truth, by Terah Cox


One sunny afternoon in the hinterlands of time,
two were sitting under the shade of the Tree of
All-Knowing, discussing matters of the world
and the non-world. The Older invited the
Younger to ask one question that was
uppermost in her mind and heart.

So the Younger asked, “Wise One, please
tell me which is greater -- Love or Truth?

“Ahhh,” the Older slowly smiled.
“None is so wise to answer for another,
and some answers can be known
only in living the question.
But I will offer you a story,
the story of a yesterday
that has birthed all tomorrows,
and yet must be born again
in every today.
Listen well, and know
that all which is sought
 longs to be found …”

What eventually did not feel good, however, was that no matter how accomplished or remarkable each became, there was always, still, something missing.

     Such was the case with Love and Truth. In the beginning, Love and Truth loved being together. They didn’t go anywhere without each other, and their together-light was so bright that everyone who encountered them instantly shined brighter in their presence. All basked in Love and Truth’s combined sense of justice and compassion, intelligence and heartfulness, strength and softness. Beings would come from far and wide seeking encouragement for their challenges, hope for their dreams and healing for their hurts. And Love and Truth loved to be of service wherever they could. It seemed they would spend all eternity together opening what was closed, filling what was empty, healing what was broken and making crooked things straight.

      Then one day, Truth got an independent notion....
