If you know something to be true
Say it once
Those who can, will receive it
Only the foolish believe they can justify a truth to a court of fools

It can stand alone
Whether torn and ridiculed
Truth stands
Even after all has been stripped away — Gregory C. Warner

The kind that can sit in silence and feel renewed.
The real kind of love.
