Embers

Thank you for all of this

Thank you even for the pain and shame

It was only life

And at times it cut through me like a knife

Making me feel I may never survive

The truth is one day I will die

My soul I believe though

Is immortal

So if I had to learn all of these tough lessons

In this particular incarnation

Then perhaps it was a necessary thing

Not one to be ashamed of

There is no rule book that we are given

When we come here

As we wander on through this life

So many times

We fail or fall

Falter and stumble

At times losing our way

And yet all along

Deep inside of us hidden

Lives an inner light

A little fire

That guides us

Even when dimmed to just

A few glowing embers

We must not ever give up

In our quest to connect to it

And through all of our striving

Find the breath of spirit

Deep within us

That when used

And bestowed upon those embers

Will bring that dying fire

Back to life

"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.

      1. I read the writings in other languages through DeepL translator, it works better than google translator, at least for me. I usually write short verses, I hope you can read them.

        Regards.
