A love letter to my parents

I love you Mum and Dad

I suffered at your hands

You never really understood how to hold me

And I, being a sensitive child

Knew more than you said

Sensed only what lay unspoken

Under a cover of silence

So now a few short hours away from birthing time

I pray to you and feel all the love you struggled to give to me

I no longer blame myself

I was a latecomer child

And was the harbinger of the change

It was no one’s fault

It was only evolution

I see that now

As I free myself to feel the need I had to bury

To be accepted

As I acknowledge the truth

I could not let myself fully admit before

As I allow the feelings anger blocked freedom

So love can flow like a river

Between my soul and yours

I love you Mum and Dad

"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. “So love can flow like a river” – what a beautiful thought… if only we all allowed this to happen then healing can occur at such a deep level 🙏

      1. Yes I agree and carrying someone else’s pain (multigenerational) can be so confusing when we don’t yet understand where such deep sadness has come from. I had it pointed out to me many years ago that I was carrying my fathers pain to have him acknowledged.

      2. That’s why your blog is so wonderful Michelle. We carry our ancestral wounds to heal and give the pain back. His book is called It Didn’t Start With You and it didn’t and Yes, it needs acknowledgement that is all our ancestors need to know their suffering was felt. Hugs and much love to you, beautiful ❤

      3. Awe bless you and thank you. I’ve missed us connecting it’s been a crazy few weeks and I’m struggling to write. Hopefully will be back on track soon 💜
