Fall and rise

Thoughts come and go

I watch them rise

Following the breath

It is no surprise

They ebb and flow

Sometimes a feeling comes

With the tide

Centering within

I recognise it may be

Loneliness

With the thought

That no one cares

Just a thought

And these tears

If I just allow myself

To ride the breath

All of these feelings come and go

Just like the breath

Just like the tide

And I am the observer

Standing on the shore of my mind

Watching the ocean

Fall and rise

Feeling the love that washes in

With the welcoming

And then letting go

Of thoughts and feelings

Of loneliness

"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.

    Stunning, my lovely.
    Really echoes so much that I’ve been reading over the last few months

      1. It does. I have been trying it too. It’s not always easy, you know sometimes we get so lost and deeply into the moment that is hurting us we can’t see past the moment itself. But when I manage to do this, just observe the thought I am having and know that everything and anything will pass, it is peaceful.

      3. It does, yep ❤️ I feel like, when I let go of the judgment of myself and others (not easy) things seem to flow more but then I get caught up, as you say in something and you feel yourself impassioned, but it’s only over a thought so…again you’re back to observing that thought and trying to …match the energy with what’s actually going on. The passion, I think, is when we *think from the heart*. So…it takes us in the right direction, but when the mind starts to backchat, shall we say, there is a clash. Our ego starts to yell because it feels threatened by the loudness of the heart, which is only truth, whereas the ego’s job is to keep us in the illusion.
        I hope I explained myself well there! 🤣😘

      4. A good point Sheri makes is that underlying judgements are painful emotions.. I have lashed out at times when it would have been better to have acknowledged the emotion.. so that.s the loudness of the heart you are talking of… maybe it just wants us to hear how sore it is and offer it some tenderness.
        you did most definately.. 🙂
