If you come to me

I will try to tell you the truth

But I must warn you

My story is likely to change

 *

You see, the things that I hold as true today

Aren’t necessarily the same as they were a year ago

And if I keep growing and learning

It follows that they will be different a year from now

 *

It is not truth that is changing

It is my understanding of it

It is not my desire for honesty that is growing

It is my capacity for it

 *

As a young man I thought I had a grasp on truth

But now I see that the truth is too big to hold in your hands

The human mind cannot fully wrap itself around truth

In fact, it is truth that wraps itself around our minds

 *

The truth is like a mountain

Too thick to be penetrated

And too heavy to lift

Ultimately, all we can do is journey towards its shrouded summit

 *

It is made of solid rock

And we can choose to build upon it

Or fall upon it

Or have it fall upon us

 *

It is a foolish man who believes that the truth is somehow subject to him

Or moved by his disapproval

Who thinks that he might bend it by his will

Or outrun it in his strength

 *

To some the truth is terrible

And to others it is beautiful

But regardless of our perceptions

Ultimately truth will prevail
