Refuge within

Peacefully at home within my self

I find the calm I seek

When I feel and understand my heart

Then I know I have a refuge here

Deep inside this body

I do not depend at all

On the opinions of others any more

I do not block them from my ears

But I have power over what I allow

Into my heart and head these days

I have always been a kind person who cares

But not everyone can be this way

And that is life

Not a sign of wrong or right

When I use my wisdom and discrimination to understand

Then I feel my happy

And most things make sense

Who cares if others think its nonsense

And I am coming to understand

That there are so many pains within this world

I am powerless to affect

I can bless them and give love

I can wait on the answer from within or

Heaven above

I can surrender what is not mine to fix or heal

And I can tend with compassion

The open field of my own pain

My own suffering

My own sadness

And thus birth within my soul

Peace

Serenity

Acceptance

And even sometimes

Joy

"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. Absolutely, I feel like it needs to be a constant practice and there will be slip ups, we’re only human, the relief we feel when we can push even just one away is priceless, I’ve always said “I don’t care what people think but I don’t want to be misrepresented… “ it doesn’t make sense but it does in my head lol
        If someone doesn’t like me that’s alright, but if they don’t like me because they heard a false heinous thing about me… that’s bothersome at first. So even though I practice working through it, the time and work still exists there

      2. I understand Angie..theres nothing worse than being misinterpreted or deeply musunderstood or talked about in a false way behind our back. One of my sisters did this and it was hurtful..its fine to care about what people think but we can also learn over time not to personalise it. Often its just down to their issues.

      3. You said it right there, it’s way behind our control and it’s their own issue. Bravo 👏 that will stick in my head, thank you !
