If you are sad

If you are sad

Know that you have been through pain

And there is no shame

In admitting your feelings

Even in a world that says

It is a sign of malingering

Too much in the past

Know that at times

These waves of heartbreak

Will just wash over you

And though you struggle

Not to take the blame

For running away

Leaving others confused and hurting

Know that it was also hard for them

To open the door

On their own pain

Due to shame

And confusion too

For sadness needs allowing

And an open space

A warm embrace

And not the look of dismay

When all you longed for

Was to tell the truth

Of how you really felt

In a world

Not that comfortable

With sadness

"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. Yes Deb… there’s many people that find it hard to live with others sadness, and are noticeably uncomfortable, … when me and Carole had visitors, sometimes you got the feeling they couldn’t leave our sort situation quick enough……we soon found out who our real friends were !!

      1. Yes Deb, I found the process very sad and interesting…. Carole’s father was the worst, he and Carole used to very close, but when Carole became ill, he wouldn’t hardly every visit her… let alone sit with her and hold her hand, the sadness and disappointed was written all over her face, we were both hugely hurt, …… devastated I should say….. and that went on for another 30 years of Carole’s life…….. (tears…)
