the truth of you
i mentioned that i am currently in love with the tv show bones, right?
in case you aren’t familiar with the show, it’s about a forensic anthropologist and an fbi agent who solve crimes using the bones of the deceased.
brennan, the forensic anthropologist, is a genius who wound up in the foster care system after being abandoned by her parents & brother. she relies on reason & logic & facts and distrusts seemingly non-rational emotions like love. booth, the fbi agent, believes in love & fate and trusts his heart & gut. of course, they are slowly falling in love.
i love watching the relationships between the characters and the changes in each of them as they grow & transform & deepen through their interactions with each other.
that being said, the reason i bring this up is because there is a scene in one particular episode that i want to tell you about.
the case involves a psychic who tells them that they’ll find bodies buried below a fountain. they do.
in the course of their investigation, brennan finds herself in a room with the psychic.
the psychic pulls a tarot card and tells brennan that she was abandoned when she was a child. she pulls another card and tells brennan that she is afraid of the world and that she hides her fear behind reason & logic – but that there is one question she (brennan) can’t answer.
brennan tells the psychic that the question she can’t answer is how the psychic knew the bodies were under the fountain.
the psychic tells brennan that the question she can’t answer is how anyone can love her. she then pulls another card and says, “the answer to the question you are afraid to say out loud is yes. he knows the truth of you and he is dazzled by it.”
today, i wish that for you.
may you know the truth of you and may you be dazzled by it.
i must say, you really can find insight and inspiration everywhere you look.
p.s. completely off-topic, but i just have to share my latest thing with you – it’s a personalized children’s story!
now I really want to start watching that show!
I enjoy Bones too. It is one of the few shows that I record. It is more about the people than the mystery.
and we know elizabeth
and are dazzled by her!

I remember that episode and even that line. I remember that when I heard of it, I thought of my own Jeffrey and offered a prayer of gratitude.
This DAZZLES, Elizabeth! A lovely remind to recognize our beauty and hold it tenderly, yet with wonder. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
Tracy: It is such a lovely reminder. I want to send the writers a thank you.
Relyn: I feel like I will remember it for years to come. I always love your sharings about Jeffrey – so happy you have someone who recognizes your radiance.
Tammy: xoxoxo
Jerry: I think that’s why it’s my favorite. I like that sort of show – the CSI or L&O or NCIS sort – but this is the only one that really captured my attention.
Jen: They’re on Season 8, the rest are on Netflix. I think I am becoming a Bones pusher – it seems to come up in every single conversation of mine.
