Truth – Is the Key

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 6 May 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Yeah! The AM3 server is up! Thanks to the good team at AM3 for all their hard work and for improving things! Many thumbs up for them!

Today, I’m posting this picture as a round up to the theme on Truth.

For those who have been wondering what the key might be that opens up the lock to our minds and lives, here is the key (hope it wasn’t a disappointment to anyone) – Truth.

Yes, it has come full circle…the key is Truth itself – that is what will open up our minds, our hearts and our lives.

Truth points the Way.

Wanna guess what my next theme would be? :)

Nice job with the treatment there, K. I like the fact that the subject of this photo is illuminated while the surrounding words take a 'backseat'. Nicely done. :)

I like the dim light. Good close-up.

I thought the answer might be love. Maybe love is truth.

@alla: you do have a point there... you can't say you have love when you ain't got truth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

I agree with you about truth. You had the courage to picture the truth about truth in a photo which isn't easy. Now we also better understand the arrows of the next pics: they show the way, either simple or very complex.
Excellent photo-technology and skills! Not just view-and-click.

@Erik Tjallinks: Thanks for your encouraging words. I'm just glad to be able to share my photos but for so many to also read my reflections, and some to respond to it, I'm very thankful. Thanks for dropping by. Do come again for a visit whenever you can. :)

Creative. Nice processing!

Diya from Switzerland

very nice, I think to live in absence of truth, that is what makes life hard, difficult and painful. To try to go against truth makes people (me!?) hard and fighting. so what if everybody starts telling the truth...or live it..., great work!

@Diya: thanks for sharing your reflections!
just a thought - in this fallen world we live in, truth is never easy for many to face, it's like when switching on the light in a darkened room, the rats will scuttle for dark corners...truth can be uncomfortable... so it takes courage to seek truth, speak truth and live truth... may i have that courage all the time...
