Words: Life

Life
Is in the corners
It is in the spaces between things
In the words we don’t say and the actions we don’t take

Life is in
The closed doors we open and the open doors we ignore
The thoughts we don’t voice and the ideas we don’t pursue
In the wrong dreams
The wrong roads
The poor choices
Or the right ones

Life is in
The actions taken and not taken
It becomes life when we own it
Living when we pursue it
And truth when we recognise it

We fear change
But when we are unhappy change is critical
Yet we shrink from ‘what if?’ because we’ve made mistakes
Will this be another?
So what?

When you can’t decide on an action
Just choose a starting point and step through the decision
Learning as you go
Never ignoring the doors that open before you
Or those that are firmly closed
Let them be

You may feel frustrated
But life is in the quiet spaces
In watching
Listening
And feeling
Use the pauses wisely
And listen

Because the truth of life is in the heart
In how you want to feel about your life
Does the choice lead to happiness or not?

Follow your heart truth
Through the open doors

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
