Truth

By Muriel Rukeyser

What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
The world would split open.

    Why does it need to be one WOMAN!!
    What about one teacher,preacher,govenor,house of Rep,Senator,President!!!!
    What if it was on the penny wage process!!
    1st day you get a penny for work!
    Double that the next day! 2pennies
    Double that the next day! 4 ”
    Double that the next day! 8 ”
    and so on!
    Problem is people don’t see the benefit long term of telling the truth!!!

    The woman’s story that is pertinent to me these days is of Rebekah in Genesis 25:23, whose jostling twins in her womb were to separate and become the heads of two nations; and how those two nations being “born” via those twins continue to affect the world.

    My 3 sisters and I are getting ready to take a “sisters trip”. This causes me to wonder what might happen if each of us were to reveal the “truth” of our lives - the power and freedom that might erupt for the 4 of us……
