Truth
Origin
Old English 'trīewþ' — faithfulness, fidelity; from 'trēowe' (faithful, steadfast).
Roots
Rooted in the idea of being TRUE like a tree — firmly planted, unmoving, trustworthy.
Inner Meaning
Truth is not merely accuracy; it is fidelity to what is. To own your truth is to stand rooted, unshaken by what others need you to be.
A Practice
Speak one true thing today that you have been hiding — first to yourself.
