Words for this moment

Divine Guardian of Truth, I call upon Your light to shield my eyes and ears. Let no false word take root in my mind. Let no shadowed intention cloud my path. Grant me discernment sharper than illusion, intuition stronger than manipulation. Where flattery seeks to mislead, let humility reveal the truth. Where lies dress as light, let my spirit recoil and refuse. Ancestors who knew the masks of deceit, teach me to read the signs, to feel the weight of honesty, and to walk away from the snares of deception. I choose truth, even when it is hard. I choose clarity, even when it costs me comfort. I choose wisdom, even when it requires patience. Let every deception dissolve before me, and let every truth stand unshaken. Amen. Ashe.

A moment for reflection

Write one known fact and one unanswered question. An urgent feeling does not always require an immediate decision.
