Don’t run from pain

If you run from your pain

It will find you

It is asking something of you

Some thing most probably beyond words

So its best to listen to pain

Pain often says

There is something you dismissed

Or ignored

Or did not fully understand

Or someway in which

You turned away

Don’t ignore me for too long

I have a reason for being here

And I need to be heard

And felt

And understood

Don’t run from me says pain

Please listen

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  1. So I’ve listened. And I know what it’s saying. But there’s nothing I can do about it. Isn’t it better to numb yourself then?

    1. Do what you have to do. I have had to sit with deep pain with no painkillers often and its been bloody hard. I just think some pain does dissolve when we really attend minfully but there are sutuations where that isnt possible. This was written in response to hearing about someone I know who runs a lot from her pain. I wouldnt say it to her but I often just write what comes into my conscioudness at that time. Its not meant to be instructive. I understand well the need to numb severe pain.
