Weeping in the Forest

A beautiful song for the stolen generation of aboriginal people whose way of living was decimated, not only by the colonisation of their country but the forced separation from loved ones and a way of living in deep harmony with nature.

"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. beautiful, I’ve always felt so sad how we humans have acted towards ancient native beings… but over the years we can be grateful for understanding their story and shown glimpses of the truth of who we all truly are and can now allow them to journey beyond on their next adventure with us, if we choose freedom. Much love barbara x

    1. Sad point made on the progamme I was listening today is that separation trauma does live on for next generations. Here there has been a sorry but not signficant understanding of traumas long ranging effect. These things need to be spoken of so they can be grieved and released. Sadly dispossession means famiies were fractured and lack of support leaves so many families alienated. There are no easy answers or quick fixes to this complex problem, sadly. There are a lot of aboriginal people who do want to move on.
