Life raft

When the ocean became so stormy

And high emotional winds began to lash our family

I retreated to the place

Where no words were

Said

Holding all of the feelings in

Not knowing really what to do

And lately it seem to me

That in order to survive

My waking mind made

A life raft of thought

To carry me through

But sometimes the thoughts got in the way

Of me just accepting

Of me just loving

Of me just opening my heart

Wide wide open in the middle of the storm

Some say there is a center to be found

Even in the storm

Some say there is serenity to be gained

By not grasping

And maybe sometimes

We just have to let all of these manic waves

Cascade over us

Because really

In the midst of these precarious circumstances

Control is not ours but Gods

So lately I am surrendering my belief

And leaning more on her

Because only God is

All seeing

All knowing

All powerful

"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.
