Lessons

If depression taught me anything

It is that life is precious

And that we all have a value

So often obscured by conditioning

By the pressure to toe the line

And assume a different shape

If contraction taught me anything

It was about the pure desire of my spirit to expand

To rise above the challenges and obstacles

Yet to earth

By growing down deep roots

Into the nourishing soil

Of my soul’s true home

If my tears taught me anything

They were mostly about longing and love

Even when those two illusive wishes

Seemed so lost to me

So now I am grateful to my depression

For all of the invaluable lessons

It taught me

And I would not trade a single day or night

Of my soul’s dark journey

"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.
