A primary recurring theme for me is "getting to the truth of things." A variation of this is "the way things are." But what is this? How much of anything is "the way it is" and how much is "the way I see it"? A tree does have "its way of being" which is "the way it is," while it is also "that which it is to me," i.e. my interpretation of it. And it is still something else: a part of me even as I am a part of it; I know it as a part of "myself," my being on a larger scale that is no longer so much "me," but a greater being that is inclusive of me and the tree. So "getting to the truth of things" may be a moot point, depending on just what level of myself is doing the "getting."
I hope to add to this soon.
