Try a little tenderness

Embrace

“When another person makes you suffer,

it is because he suffers deeply within himself

and his suffering is spilling over.

He does not need punishment; he needs help.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

Thanks to wraesanders from One Blog, One Day At A Time…..for reblogging a post that contained the above quote yesterday.  It pays to bear in mind that a little tenderness often goes a long way further than anything where trauma, or hurt or pain is lodged.  We need to find a way to answer deep hurt and wounds with love.

When a person feels like they have been hurt, it makes them feel vulnerable and in turn, they become hostile and defensive. Instead of encouraging this cycle of hurt, we must learn to meet hurt with love.

"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.
