Friendships require honesty and honesty requires courage. In all friendships there are moments when we must choose to be courageous. Our friendships have become root-bound and so must be repotted, transplanted and transformed into a larger and healthier vessel. This transition requires us to speak the difficult truth. Speaking our hearts' truth, while not always easy, yields us the bedrock on which the friendship stands firm. As I choose to speak with integrity and openness, I commit more deeply both to myself and to others. As I learn to trust the safety of open communication, I find that I open like a plant responding to the sun. Honesty is healing and nutritious to my heart and its friendships.
Quoted from Julia Cameron's "Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life"
