This week, Veronica expands on the discussion of of being faithful to the truth with a quote from Gandhi. His description of the “still small voice” and the “pillar of fire” as ways God reveals himself is, as Veronica puts it, also the way that the truth is revealed to us.

One way of framing this quote is by seeing it as putting into words how we are in communion with the divine all the time, and how for various reasons we sometimes ignore that communication. In stillness and silence—and noncooperation with our own tendencies to close our eyes and ears—we can learn again to foster that connection and fide our way to a more nuanced understanding of truth and love.
