Spirit asks me to make a pledge

To dare to face whatever seems

To be the truth, and,

To respect it as the truth, until

I know or suspect otherwise.

Make no mistake, He cautions,

About this being an easy task.

Lessons in appropriate forms

Of response come later.

For now, practice accepting

What seems to be true, to be true,

Whether experience later proves

Them to be so or not.

Is not important, for this lesson.
