You are me

If I hurt you

I am hurting inside me

I have a hidden pain or hurt

Buried so deep inside of me

I cannot bear to feel

And so I find the pain in you

And I punish you for it

But I am not seeing you

Only some projection

So I am not seeing

That you am I

And I am you

We are in this together

In all the weathers

I cannot just make it rain on you

And run from the rain falling

Inside my own soul

You see we are a part of each other

But only pain and ignorance

Splits us off

From allowing this largess

When you ache

How can I not ache

When you cry

How can I not feel your sadness

Unless a very long time ago

I allowed life or someone’s wounded heart

To turn my own

To stone?

"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.

  2. We sometimes, unknowingly, impose the hurt we’d weathered onto someone else, and we ended up, hurting them, like we were, hurt ourselves, and the vicious cycle just, keeps on, rolling, rolling, rolling, nonstop!
