On love (a reflection)

The love that you long for is seeking you

It lives deep inside of you

Follow deeply your longing for love

Enter the hunger

And feel the roaring deep inside your heart

Resounding between your ears

Recognising how often

Fear is there too

And how often

It lies to you

Telling you this love

Will be found

Within the mirror of another

And yes

That understanding does contain

Some grain of truth

And yet if you were not the one who could love too

How could that love ever really find you

For fear would shut tight the door

And no matter how hard love called

Your soul would turn a deaf ear

Had not the love from within

Once found you

"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. This is amazing! Subtle, but I get you. It’s very true. When you haven’t loved yourself for a long time, you can forget what that even feels like, and therefore how strong you can be by yourself.

    I’m not sure how absolute/unconditional self-love is, at least in my case. Through my long period of social isolation/lack of any feeling of achievement, it was extremely hard to see any value in myself. I could only base it on what I’d previously accomplished/who I’d previously been. Or I could find glimmers of it, for example pride in overcoming some here-and-now obstacle. But I’m only now remembering the feeling of self-love, through being part of this community, having a way to help others, and successfully indulging in my passion of writing! I think that’s partly down to my hyperactive nature–– having lower dopamine and Needing to be somewhat busy/making things.

      1. Wow, thanks! Glad I understood it correctly :).

        Yes, totally agree. Yes and sometimes you do need to rest, without feeling guilty. I lost a lot of momentum over christmas from too much forced down time! So having to battle these voices and things extra hard again.

      2. Its all an oscillation and balance isn’t it.. I mean sometimes we swing to one extreme only to learn a new state of balance. A dynamic one… trying to write something about this over the past day or so.. Lots of love your way. ❤
