Alone

Alone with gulls.jpg

Alone is the place I trust most

The place of inward turning where I find myself

And in this silence today

I can hear the inner voice of love

Speaking to me

When the critic’s voice recedes

Leaving me alone in an ocean

That does not drown

But fills my being so full of this benevolent presence

I do not trust the world of humans

And that is sad

For not everyone will defeat me

But after those times where I have felt stomped all over

By someone’s hobnail boots

As they retreat oblivious

It is to this inky silence and softness of the deep within

That I retreat

Which offers me comfort and an open ear

A way to dialogue with despair

And find freedom

Being alone

Makes no demands

Just as nature has no agenda

But to witness and be witnessed

In the depth of that comforting aloneness

Which feels most like home

"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.
