these darknesses : this anxiety

these darknesses

we think make us oh so solitary

hide the truth

of what it means to be

a suffering human being

living in this modern age

and so we hide them

or pull then close

losing faith in anything

dark times are now

revealing things can get worse

while all of nature surround us

in its majesty

patiently waiting

does it ache for us

to surrender ourselves to its

holding?

these anxieties

like a million ants

reveal themselves in a waking dream

as I struggle to stand

to find sure footing

to breathe

and then later they transmute

as the black dog descends

revealing the true depth

of his color

there is so much blue

hidden inside the black

but last night it was a curious thing

after some time of keeping me company

he left my side

and then I awoke with my heart

breaking open

like an exploding star

and saw how deep and how far

we all travelled

all I know is that this darkness

is not empty

but it is full of mysterious secrets

and wisdom

and so I will try in my faltering way

to give it words

especially at dusk

when like the Shaman I descend

to that other world

while on the tree outside my window

a black raven

preens

his gossamer wings

as inside my heart begins to sing

a new song

weaving it together

with this old song

of

distant remembering

"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.

    Accountability of Raw Truth is summoning of the Black Dog that chases them on the highway of life so many are afraid to stand alone for what it is just and moral valour

    So they rebuke and shun those that have deeper sense of logic rise beyond their comprehensive drivel

    Everyone should reach for the stars not try to limit their creative possibilities by precepts of how others shine light afflicting towards them. Primal R.e.p.r
