“Truth when Spoken, Becomes the Soil you Grow From”

A reflection on the quiet power of honesty

There is a moment in everyones journey—

when truth finally finds its voice.

It may come as a whisper in the dark,

a trembling sentence to a friend,

a line scribbled in a worn journal,

or a prayer offered with more tears than words.

However it arrives,

that moment changes everything.

Because truth—when spoken—becomes the soil you grow from.

Not the illusion of truth.

Not the edited version we give the world.

But the raw, soul-bared kind.

The kind that doesn’t beg to be understood,

only needs to be honored.

We often fear that if we speak our truth, something will fall apart.

But what if what falls apart is only what was never real to begin with?

What if, in speaking our truth, we stop tending to gardens that are not fertilized properly to even grow fruit, and finally plant ourselves in soil that’s actually meant to nourish our becoming?

Why truth matters.

Truth grounds you. Without it, you float between roles, identities, expectations.With it, you become rooted in who you truly are—not who others need you to be

Truth heals you. When you speak it, you stop hiding from yourself. And what you no longer hide, you can finally begin to heal

Truth aligns you. It draws your inner world into agreement. The heart, mind, spirit, and body stop fighting, and start flowing in the same direction

Truth frees you. Even if it doesn’t change your circumstances immediately, it changes the posture of your soul—from surviving to becoming you.

Speaking truth doesn’t always feel like triumph.

Sometimes it feels like cracking open.

But in that cracking, something sacred breaks through.

A root.

A beginning.

A promise that something beautiful will grow here.

So if you’re holding something in your heart—

something you’ve buried to keep the peace, to avoid pain, to wait for the perfect time—

know this:

Your voice is a garden tool.

Your truth is a seed.

And the moment you speak it,

you begin the work of becoming who you were always meant to be.

Plant your truth in the soil of this moment.

Water it with courage.

Watch what grows.
