There are rules you know! Depending on where we're from We have to hate each other Nothing else is possible Or sensible
Depending on our skin colour There are rules that we must follow Judgements to be made An entire shade placed in one category Of right or wrong
Depending on our body structure We must be one thing or the other Nothing else is right No authentic feeling matters
Depending on what we earn We can or cannot be kind We are or are not lazy We may or may not be elitist
Depending on the life We were born into We're either rich and successful (And disinterested) Middle class (And boring) Poor (And didn't try hard enough)
Depending on what school we went to We will or will not make a good career Depending on where we trained We will or will not reach the top levels Success is for the correct few Not the hopeful many
Depending on our nationality We do or do not believe in war Depending on our governments We do or do not feel sorry For others across the world
Depending which party wins We will have 5 years Of happiness or frustration
Depending on our God We may or may not be murdered
These things are not true These are not rules
Billions of people walk this earth Each individually unique Some band together in one camp Some in the other
Yet many walk a central path of shared humanity Disinterested in the rules Open to meeting different people Learning about different lives Celebrating difference Wanting to know how it feels To be you
These people pray for your safety Hope that you're thriving Feel that you should have Abundance in all good Great and wonderful things Wish you well(ness)
Their thoughts are life affirming Their approach is flexible Their ideas can be changed Their beliefs are subject To discussion And sharing And listening And hearing
These people accept others For who they are Under the same sky On the same Earth Living in the same world
One race One world One love Peace and safety for all
I am one of those people And I am not alone

For all those suffering From these 'rules' Especially in conflict torn areas ALL of them!
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
