A heart of kindness

Sometimes we struggle so hard

To find a heart of kindness

When the knives of the world cut

And lance the wounds of the soul

Sometimes it seems easier to strike back

Than to feel the sense of deep pain

That already lives on

Inside of us

From earlier times

And sometimes when others

Fail to see the underlying truth

Asking for proof

Instead of showing empathy

How can we reply

And not lose the way to

Our heart’s deeper

Wisdom and truth

Sometimes the world just hurts us

In the hurting place

And there is no disgrace

In feeling that pain

Sometimes the world i

Is just blind

To deeper realities

That lie hidden behind

Superficial appearances

And so at times

It is most especially necessary

To be kind to ourselves

To hold our own hand

Even as we count the cost

And not to allow the loss

Of all the desire and passion

We still possess

For how will it help us

If other’s unconsciousness

Convinces us to give up on life?

This is when we must

Find the strength

To dig even deeper for the courage

To stay strong and true

To the values of human love

Embracing imperfection

and human vulnerability

With tenderness

"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.
