suffering

the powers that be

growing stronger on ignorance

would rather you stay numb

to the depths of truth

eschewing suffering

naming it a mistake

but wiser people know

pain cannot be avoided in this life

without enduring a massive cost

to our humanity

sadly we so often look

for the softer easier way

while we forget

even nature brings to all of its kin

raw and painful lessons

inspiration and wretchedness

two alternating sides of one reality

because the deeper truth

misery is seemlessly

interwoven with joy

enduring suffering

opens our hearts to what is real

to what our numb and shallow attitudes

concealed from us before

beware the one talking loudest

pontificating and judging

for of this you can be sure

they never once tasted

the humbling force

and grounding humbling power

of suffering

"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.
