On Self Knowledge : Kahlil Gibran

Your hearts know in silence, the secrets of the days and nights. 

But your ears can thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge. 

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought. 

You would touch with your finger, the naked body of your dreams. 

And it is well you should. 

The hidden well spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea. 

And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes. 

But let there be not scales to weigh our unknown treasure. 

And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line 

For self is a sea boundless and measureless. 

Say not “I have found the truth,” but rather “I have found a truth.” 

Say not, “I have found the path of the soul” 

Say rather, “I have met soul walking upon my path,”  For the soul walks upon all paths. 

The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a seed. 

The soul unfolds itself, like the lotus of countless petals.

"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.
