A force for love

Stop

Breathe

Let yourself be still for a while

And feel the sadness and these tears that want to rise

Let your heart open to love

Even if deep within this sadness

You feel an abyss of emptiness opening

Rest there and wait until the outgoing tide returns

To fill your heart again

Listen to the inner voice that says

You were born for this

You were born for love

Do not let the killing forces of culture and fear

Block your heart from loving

For now

I tell you

It is simply enough

To be a force for love

 

(Many of my poems arise during mindfulness meditation.  This one came to me this morning after thinking of seeing my sister so low in the hospital yesterday.  It came in response to my prayers.)

"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. Such a powerful but peaceful piece… It is immediately evident that this is a product of deep meditative thinking. This brought a stillness and calming to me just through a mental read-through. Great work here.
