Free of sorrow

Sometimes the truth dawns on me

That I have lived far too long in sorrow

Hurts that may not have come

Had I not tried so hard

To fix what was

Beyond repair

And I have leaned

Sometimes it simply costs

Too much to care

And keep throwing your empathy

Down an empty well

So now

After so many years

Of shedding tears

Let me seek the path

To happiness

For I am growing tired of sorrow

And you showed me another way

That leads to something better

So come whatever weather

Its is your company I will keep

It is close to your heart

That I will seek

To live

Finding a means of being

Freer of this

My heavy burden

Of 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. I’ve just finished breakfast… Have been doing some blogging, but to concentrate this morning, sleep deserted me last night, don’t think I can do much more……I’ll have a shower and go for a coffee and cake…… otherwise I’ll be stuck in my little haven hear……. and I always feel better for making the effort to get about for a walk, and it’s a cooler and less smokey today, maybe I’ll get a decent walk in…… the thick smoke has restricted how much i could do…… Cheers Deb, have a great day….my cards are on the table now….

      2. I am going to head out too soon Ivor. Walking and fresh air do wonders for us, its such a relief we got a small fall of rain last night. The leaves were all soft when I went out to do some clearing up earlier. Enjoy your coffee and your walk,

      4. Me too Ivor. When I had my morning coffee I don’t usually but I had a raspberry friend in honour of you…we went to the English garden near the nursery today after our walk to the dog park. I am off to therapy in an hour and a half…

    1. But there is soul deep in melancholy we are in such an adversarial relationship with it at times. I think its only problematic when it clouds things and blocks forward movement. I will always have sadness living deep inside me over certain things, I guess its about choosing our focus for the day. But we don’t have to fight the deep.

      1. I agree there will always be things especially in certain relationships which will make us sad or melancholy. They are held in a good way within the soul or otherwise it will have to be dealt with and released. There are regrets which I hold in love the memories bubble up , They have strong pull on the soul. A dialogue starts with those in spirit I became lost for two days last year but I managed to spin it around to pull on the love connection instead of the melancholy. We do not have to fight the deep. Take care.

      2. I understand what you are saying Nanette. there is a destructive kind of pulling down… so I do understand. I have at times been pulled down and haunted by ancestral ghosts. Now they speak more clearly I encourage them they are heard but cannot ask me to ransom my life.

      3. Ask them to take responsibility for their own actions and deal with their own karma wherever they are and to stop passing it on to you. You are not responsible for their wrongs, “sins of the fathers” so to speak.

  4. I understand this piece way too much. We won’t to make peace but at what price. All we can do is try. I don’t think God wants us to get beaten up over and over again. We can still pray for these people and then let it go. Love ❤️ you my friend. Joni
