Truth for Life

Truth never frightens.

I remember once walking out in the winter to greet my father as he returned from work.

He was a little late that night and I waited by a street corner near our house.

The cold can enliven thanks, my wool coat became a sacred robe, how happy I felt to be alive.

I waited in a world of magic, smells of good food, the street lamps, the smoke coming from chimneys, the candles burning in windows, the snow.

Angels feasted, as I did, on existence and God kept saying, “Have more of what I made.”

I saw him coming. We ran into each other’s arms and he lifted me as he so often had — twirled me through the air, his hands beneath my arms.

That is what the Truth does:
lifts and lets us fly.

—St. Catherine of Siena
