Choose life

You have to laugh

Often, at the absurdity of life

So as not to keep crying

Drowning in pools of tears

Over things that happened to you

That were so far beyond your control

Otherwise

You are going to ransom life

If you cannot find a way to bear the pain

And then step around it

To embrace the irony

You will never be free

Of weights of lead

That you never placed upon you

But continue to do nothing whatsoever

About removing

This is not to say that often

The depths of what happens is not heartbreaking

But in the end

If you wish to live

Its up to you to choose life

And laughter

Not a living death

Of unending unrepentant

Unbearable sorrow

"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. Maybe its more a case of timing. Grief is a deep process and we dont always have control over how long it holds us in its grasp…one day we just feel a brightening but im conscious too in my case its different on different days…Soul wrenching grief is so intense. Sending you love 💖
