How can I know what is true
When life can be so confusing?
People can say and do
All kinds of things to earn your trust
And if there is a tender raw space inside
Full of so much unmet need
Then we may be
Pulled towards them
Like a magnet
How can we hold on to
The little one inside of us
Who always longed for love
For a shoulder to cry on
When things hurt
For a strong heart to help us stand still with
And recognise fear
And how to get through it?
Now all I can do
Is turn inside to you
Little Debs
So many things happened over years
That so naturally filled you with so much fear
And left you all alone and wondering
With no one to lean on or talk to in the wilderness
So now if a wolf comes by
How will you recognise him?
For now I must be there for you
I know you
Live inside every cell of my body
So
Now I lay my hands on you and say
Tell me your fears and longings
And needs and secrets
I will not turn away
And together we will try to find a way
To move beyond our fears
And embrace happiness
(You will know them by their actions)
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Trust no-one/
Every creature deserves
The opportunity
Conflict between
Heart and brain
To find is to lose
To lose is often
To find anew
Excavate as
Stub fingers push
Dirt from surface
Searching for
What lies beneath
Pale, portent eyes
Entombed within
Likewise form
Rattling bones
Speak from a place of
Relative obscurity
Process process
Finding flaws
Searching still

Exactly. To be hurt is unavoidable… But it can be a chance to learn to avoid the same pain later. It’s almost along the lines of the old saying “Fool me once…”

Yep and like my therapist said the other day sometimes we get the same lesson coming as we are freeing a pattern. ❤
