my natural feelings

Let me be sad for a while

Over the things that hurt me so much

I know we should not need

Permission to grieve

But in a culture that rejects these vulnerable feelings

Often those who carry them

Can be sidelined

Since they do not always assume the most endearing

Of disguises

Let me show love to myself

And to you

So that these feelings can rise and fall

And naturally move on through

As they are meant to do

So that I can gain

Wisdom

Understanding

Insight

And healing

Let me sit by that wild ocean for a while

While watching the sun dance upon it

As I seek the glow of angels

And feel myself held tenderly

By wings of love

That give me the permission

To be true to my soul

And to feel and release

All of my natural feelings

"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.

  4. We are socialized to show only the more acceptable emotions, the positive ones, and to, keep those negative emotions(i.e anger, sadness, grief, rage) to ourselves, and, when we have outbursts, the world’s feedback for them is: we don’t accept you, and, we internalize that, and start to, disown our own, negative feelings.
