Imagining?

Do we really live on solid land

Or are there gaps in our consciousness

Tiny crevices from within which vapours

Escape

Colouring the perpections of our lives

Covering the present over with

Veneers tinged with intimations

Of deeper things

We sought to hide

Or bury

Or run from?

How then are we to live

Strung on the highwire above our souls imagining

Never entirely sure

What is dream and what is reality

If to you the sky is green

And I say sky is only blue

What is to become of us

You superimpose your perception

Tinged with what I regard as self deception

Over mine

Do I refuse

Or open to

Embrace a different view?

Can we co exist here

With all of our separate dreams

Separate realities

Seperate imaginings

Can we allow them to become

Not barricades to connection

And even indeed to love

But rather open doorways

To each other’s souls

To each other’s reality

To each other’s imagining?

"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. Lovely!

    Sometimes I wonder if MY reality IS reality. I think to myself, what if my reality is that I have been paralyzed and confined to a bed for my entire life and I am imagining this reality I live inside of. I can’t think on stuff like that for too long or I get anxious. Too much thinking, for me, no bueno.

    Dreams and reality is a bit more pleasant to ponder on. If we are ALL living this reality, then can’t it be said that perhaps we are all living a collective dream?

    Peace

      2. Yes, dont beat yourself up about it. I think reverie and dreaming and imagination are great aspects of our inner life. We need them. We dont have to be lost in them all the time and modern culture may negate them at times but they are valuable forms of reality…<3

      2. And I also just thought this thought in response to your comments. It’s a breakthrough when we can see our reality is just one take on things as that means we can keep an open mind. and heart to other’s realities. Its what I was attempting to express in that poem.

      3. You’re right.
        It’s easy to lose sight of that, and get wrapped up in our own stuff. Even when we are open minded, sometimes we might not take a moment to consider someone else’s reality.
