Sun shines from the sky of human desire like a laser to burn the deep down within and it shatters reserves of protective measures to make of denial a pile of ash. So denial made mobile melds and joins with the wind of circumstance and creates a thick and dense overlay over the rest of a life. This process is known as converting the whole into small and manageable portions to make of the burden no hardship for one who owns and carries denial. But always there are the corners, you know, where denial collects and grows in stature and the cleaner must clean and clean again and again and again and again. And this conversion and clean-up process no chore to be always despised because it allows a step into the truth of deep down human desire. Break up and spread denial to be in the freedom of one’s own truth because compacted denial a forever lie that burdens and weighs down the soul. Helen / 10 January 2014 |

Ahhh . . . But denial we continue to do until, if we are fortunate or wise or both, we allow the light to shine on denial in the furthermost corner of the room and the light uncovers truth and reduces the rest to ashes. If the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; if the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; if the state governs, he is ruled by fear. |

A problematic poem! What to do with doubts and denial?  |

Denial is useless. Better to face the truth as painful as it may be. Well written, Helen. Ida |

Your thoughts are always so powerful and always worth pondering. Denial seems to waver between reality and what was. Hugs to you lady Sunday . |

Thanks everyone and, Bluesy, you are so right. I guess "what was" stepped into my reality again and I decided not to deny it - for the time being, that is. |
