Have you ever heard of the saying?

"People in Glass Houses
Shouldn't Throw Stones"


What about if the people,
in Glass Houses,
make the stones intentionally,
to throw at homes,
expect their house,
is protected by thrones,
and, artefacts
even though,
they may not live,
in it to be exact

When I walked away today,
the mind needed to relax, and play
Soothing thoughts to take one away
Sitting alone without a moan
Relaxing the brain while at home
Taking a moment 4, 7, 8, breathing technique to alleviate fate, fight or flight, which one is in sight,
Put a stop to this fighting plight, and carefully soothe with will, and might
Hopefully the one, that will soothe the brain, and relax the body out of pain
You choose the one that is not weak
Flight is always better when relaxed, but not meek
Leaving one feeling recharged, and unique
Definitely keeping 4, 7, 8, breathing technique.

Universe Poems Dec 2021
People who have been,
through trauma,
will understand,
the coming down
Feels like a brass band,
that came to town
Not on edge,
feels like,
a deflating wedge
Wait though,
another high,
before the heart,
rests into rhythm,
that is not sky high
What do people do
After years,
of heightened through,
with only certain moments,
then adrenaline again
Adjustment press send
There is a time,
that needs to happen,
to release
No clear plan,
just focus on daily,
action I can
The heart beats,
as certain elements,
are still reaching out to treat
Your hand must,
provide the support
or it is oblique,
at the same time,
focus on the retreat,
so it was like before,
they walked over your street
Going beyond,
what any human would give
Blood is not thicker than peace,
sometimes the journey ties you in
before release,
ready for you to begin,
the adjustment from within

Trauma

I wanted to tackle this subject as a professional.

So often it can be seen as a very difficult subject in reality and in communities.

Healing being the survivor not the victim,
people can recover following traumaโ€ฆ..
That is all very good.

However, what happens at the adjustment time? The time when people may just be coming out of trauma, or even still having to provide support after years of trauma then through the adjustment period also.

Examples:

Having to go out late at night to get certain foods if someone has Autism, ADHD or Anxiety that affects them in this way.

Being shouted at quite a lot of the time in life.

Not being able to sit and eat without interruptions most of the time.

Ongoing, relentless stress bullying, domestic violenceโ€ฆ.

Having your feelings hurt over and over againโ€ฆ.

Living daily life not knowing what is coming next e.g. living life on edgeโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Above is not an exhaustive listโ€ฆ...some examples.

In Between healing, prior to this also
and, as well as knowing people will recover, there is adjustment from, or during the situation or circumstances.

In Summary

Adjustment takes place primarily and these individuals go through trauma adjustment, before the mind, body. and, the soul can begin to heal or recover.

A place that helps to support people a lot
Next time you pop to the shops,
how about a stop in a different spot
Look around what will be found

Charity shops,

that promote taking your money,

Afternoon tea,
just for you, and me
Claridge's, Mayfair,
perhaps a woodland,
cabin that is fare,
but still thinking Mayfair,
we could create a setting here,
just the two of us,

Deep in the woodland,
no combustible fair,
sandwiches cut delicately,
into fingers,

scones with clotted cream,
and, jam, sweet pastries,
and, cakes
Is your mind thinking,
of the benefit stakes,
or the woodland humdrum
So long as running water,

You grace my garden,

All of the leaves
in the world have gone
Instead the trees,
have robot leaves
If you touch them,
they tell you to go
If you trample as you flow,
and walk in nature's glow,
they will crush your foot and toe
In the Spring they won't bloom or sing
Autumn no shed,
instead filled with water,
frozen Winter quarter
When you pass,
they will scrape you,
like broken glass

Cold ears, and hands,

No one has the right,
to take a life
No human is better,
than another
Equal we all are
Our blood red by far
Violence is no defence,
or punishment it represents
Disregarding life
Value Plants, animals,
and, human life
Respected protected,
and, cared for
We need to
For our planet more,
and, more
Poisoning, pollution    
Suffocating with deforestation
Is abusive for our inhabitation
Cutting down trees,
humans are destroying,
Ecosystems, damaging wildlife,
bringing the planet to its knees  
Leaders worldwide do not care,  
about any form of life,
and, deliberately destroy,
actively disregarding,
any movement for change
The concept of superiority, inferiority,
is wrongly understood,
by Law Enforcement,
that should be doing good,
When they violently abuse their power,
that is misunderstood
Everyone has capacity,
to grow and, change,
and, extend their,
intelligence range
Feeling cared for and, loved,
their efforts appreciated,
by everyone around them
Everyone makes mistakes
Itโ€™s true
Even if at the time,
It seemed right
Restorative Justice,
should be first sight,
as in a growing environment,
people can recognise,
their mistakes right
With Expanded understanding,
reciprocation profounding
What they need to do
to be a better person
You see
Realising on their own,
gives vision with opportunity to grow
No Government creates people,
the people create a Government
Public Bodies, have a duty
to respect and, care,
Peopleโ€™s Wellbeing that is fair
Many carers,
care for the mentally ill
Or Patients with Autism,
learning disability too
Sometimes complex health in situ
Which is not their fault
A diagnosed medical condition,
Is the sort
Restrictions on a  personโ€™s movement
That breaches Human Rights
This type of conduct,
by Public Bodies is clearly,
not right
As humans we have a duty,  
to create a society,
where all can express an attitude,
of care nonetheless
Respect and, compassion,
at its best
Celebrating individual achievement
Attitude applied,
to our animals, plants,
and, oceans,
as well as human reside    
The almighty took,
a garden you see,
and, planted it well
So it thrived, and stayed alive

Looking onto a street,

In previous years I trained as a Telephone Support Listener.
This was a network which provided telephone support for families affected by an admission to intensive care. I was a parent who was trained as a volunteer and undertook intensive training sessions. This service was set up to enhance the wide range of support and volunteer services already available to families at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
