What if

What if I let this be

If I let my defenses drop

If I allowed the uprush of chaos

That is

Only life?

What if I knew

Who I really am

Cannot be destroyed by you

By what you say about me

By what I ‘feel’ about you

What if

As the angels remind me

There are no mistakes

On this meandering path we take

Only choices

Made

That lead us down certain roads

While closing off others

Can I blame myself

Or anyone else for all of this

Is life just not a mystery?

How is it that I reduce it

By trying to ‘stay safe’

And ‘figure it all out’

Can I instead

Choose to trust

To drop defences

To understand how protections

So often, in trying to keep me

‘Safe’ only limit me

Could I possibly be

That brave?

"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.

  2. Getting beyond those words that hurt us, is never an, easy thing to do, especially when we’re, raised up by them, but, we grow up, eventually, to realize that we are, good, instead of how we’d been, socialized by our, families.
