Tightrope

I’m walking a tightrope
To one side is my future
To the other my past
This is my reality

I teeter
I thrust out my arms as straight as I can
Don’t wobble
Don’t lose balance
I could fall back into my past
Or forward into a future I’m not ready for

I wobble
I scream ‘don’t wobble’
We know what happens to those who wobble
They could land
Anywhere

I concentrate
Concentration is ninety percent of success
I am told
I think very hard and keep my arms very straight
So I don’t fall

Surely I won’t fall
Down
If I hold out my arms
If I keep my balance

If
I
Don’t
Fall

I will find the bright future

Because I stayed strong
And determined
And whole

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
