Gratitude and grace

Sadness,

do not steal my heart entirely

for lately this breaking I feel

all of the tensions of so many things

I wish I could change

makes daily living difficult to bear

and my body ache

And then for a moment

I notice the beauty

that surrounds me

and am amazed by this world

especially of love and of nature

Lately at times

regrets sadly eclipse

saner reason

As you said to me yesterday

nothing new can grow from thinking it all was

entirely a mistake

rather than just the meandering path I travelled.

And the mystic reminds me to be

more like the fool

softer on myself

less analytical

more open to risk and adventure

not taking the stuff ups as seriously

finding a way to live

with more gratitude and grace

on this mixed up planet

of ours

"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. Yes I’m feeling it all too physically and mentally… we are emptying ourselves of all our brokenness and suffering, taking ourselves to a new world full of love, joy and peace. A world that reflects our true selves❤️ A heartfelt poem and inspiration for us all, Thankyou… much love and keep focusing on the light! Barbara x

    1. I only just saw your comment Barbara.. those words “emptying ourselves of all of our brokenness and suffering” really resonated and moving towards “a new world full of love, joy and peace”.
      Really resonates right now.. I do get trapped in the darkness sometimes but maybe that is all part of it.
      Much love, to you darling Barbara ❤

      1. Yes it’s all part of our journey, we’re allowed to get stuck in it, revel in it… get all sticky and gooey… embracing it all. Then when we’re ready to recognise our truth we begin to change our focus💃🕺🎶🌈 have a lovely Sunday!
