October 13, 1986
Although I wrote this poem in 1986, it exactly captures what I’m going through right now, as I separate from some very damaging old messages my Grandma gave me. (See posting on And Then I Stop)
I fear total freedom,
To live without grey,
To transcend the past,
And live in today.
To grow and create,
Inner voice to guide,
And from other people,
Not needing to hide.
To accept all the love,
God wants to convey,
The light of His love,
My life to portray.
I have not encountered,
This freedom before,
The chains have been broken,
So walk out the door.
So why hesitation,
To believe it is true,
It is unfamiliar,
Is it scary for you?
I must take the risk,
To give it a feel,
And thereby to know,
That freedom is real.
Thoughts Along The Road to Healing 
Hi!I'm glad that I took the opportunity to stop by and read your blog. I can completely identify with what you are saying about PTSD. It's very difficult to try to work through – and it always helps to have people around to talk to that have been through the same kind of stuff. I am going to bookmark your site – looks like some great stuff here!
