Sweet Time

Baby Amie
We rush through time
As if we have to keep going
Keep doing
Move forward
To where?

In doing so
We rush past our lives
Missing the tiny moments
Forgetting to store
The precious memories
Wondering how we got old so fast

We were not paying attention

Time flies when we’re having fun
And the memories stay
The bad memories sometimes more so

Unless we slow time
To absorb every detail
If we treasure every moment
Of every second
We live more

We recall more great memories
We notice the things
That photographs tell us we missed
We recall the moments
The people
The experiences
The pets

The small things that one day
Become everything

Nothing goes past us
No smile is missed
No funny moment
Is forgotten

In slowing down
We increase our storage
Then when we are asked
What are your strongest recollections?
We will be able list
So many great things
So many golden moments

And because we paid attention
The past will not be lost at all

If people ask about sadness
Or loss
We will say
Yes it happened
Yes it was awful
But I was sad because
I was so fortunate
To know them
To love them
To be loved by them

And I have so many good memories
I don’t have time to recall the loss
And they are still right here
In my heart

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
