When things fall apart

Chodron.jpg

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing.  We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that all things don’t really get solved.  They come together and they fall apart.  Then they come together again and fall apart again.  It’s just like that.  The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen; room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.

"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. Yes I i do understand…im glad you said so ..its not a great feeling to be tested i guess what she means is in time we are changed by what befalls us but I know for some the challenge is too great understandably…i get where you are coming from.

      1. True, but they dont always fall apart later. There is hope. My husband, the one I have been married to for 25 years, and I did split up once before we were married. The split made us both realize we needed to be together. It’s been great, but it doesnt end that way for all relationships, we jut have to go with the flow. What happens happens, no matter how painful.

      2. Yes and thats the bottom line isn’t it? Accepting what happens and working it through…useless trying to make work something that doesn’t. And then a lovely result from being apart..realising the value if what you DO have..So glad your love survived..it gives me hope ☺
