wisdom – Deb Hawken

Out of the Dark

When you’re struggling you feel the sensuous voice of the darkness trying to dim your light, often using the voices of those around you. This was my response. Be your own light Deb xx

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? Minds don’t stay in one place for long. I’m not a fan of looking back unless it’s to good memories. I do like to mull my way forward sometimes, but then that can be to miss the here and now, which isContinueContinue reading “Hard to Say”

Never Mind

When I realised as a child That I was always going to be wrong I didn’t think ‘never mind’ I just felt hurt When I wasn’t allowed to go to university And those hopes and dreams were stopped I didn’t think it then either I just felt lost Through decades of hurts That never neededContinueContinue reading “Never Mind”

Not in My Wildest Dreams

Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”

It’s simply that as soul we are atoms who have formed a pattern called soul, which has manifested here as all things over time. I believe that the multi genders represent soul evolution where humans are being bornContinueContinue reading “Everything”

You Should Have Seen Her

You really should She may have wrinkles now – and stretch marks She may frown more than she laughs She may not see you as a gift from God No longer be moved by your youthful charms She may appear to be yesterday A mere trickle of the fountain of youth A faint memory ofContinueContinue reading “You Should Have Seen Her”

The Good Ones

What principles define how you live? Kindness, inclusion, respect, consideration, thoughtfulness, gentleness, understanding, tolerance. Which is why I find this world so hard to tolerate From having to hit the car horn if someone dares to want to share a road with you, or refuse to move out of your way instantly in a trafficContinueContinue reading “The Good Ones”

I’m Old?

I’m writing this down because I’m old I know the rules I mustn’t think that I could remember these words Because I’m past it Over the hill On the long slippery slope To happiness Finally You though I was going to say something else Admit to being a has-been Admit that the world has passedContinueContinue reading “I’m Old?”
