Wilderness Walking
Alone in the gloom, wilderness walking Lost and
afraid, hiding and stalking. So dark looms the
night, it steals all my fight Its leaving me
cowering, shaking and howling Its putting my
soul to flight.
So slow dawns new light, it takes all my
might Just to keep all the demons at bay. Im
starting and stalling, fast running then
falling Im crawling on through a new day.
The gloom is returning and with it a burning My
heart dies amid all the flames. The dark comes to
claim me, my courage it fails me My tears and my
longing me shame.
Cold blackness oer wraps me, its blanket entraps
me And stifles my last conscious
thought. Redemption is nearing, as all of my
being Fades into the distance as nought.

• The recovery model seeks to draw together the
  very diverse issues that are affecting the whole
  person. This holistic model has within it
  spiritual care.
• Spirituality has a part to play in recovery.

10

• The mainspring of recovery is hope.
• Hope springs eternal in the heart of man
  Alexander Pope.
• Hope is to look at life with expectation.
• Hope is to trust, to have confidence in..
• Recovery of hope is our shared task.

• According to one definition, The spiritual
  dimension tries to be in harmony with the
  universe, strives for answers about the infinite,
  and comes especially into focus at times of
  emotional stress, physical and mental illness,
  loss, bereavement and death
• This desire for wholeness of being lies in the
  essence of what it is to be human. Spirituality
  extends across creed and culture at the same
  time spirituality's felt as unique to each and
  every person.

12

•  Religion is a system of beliefs, with sacred
  traditions, rituals, rites of passage. Religions
  offer community based worship, each faith having
  its own set of beliefs. It is necessary for there
  to be respect for all faiths even when we do not
  share the beliefs.

13

• Hope is the universal experience that orients us
  to the future.
• Hope draws us out of the present towards a future
  whose perspective transforms the present.

14

• Loss of hope has us feeling that things will
  always be the way they are.
• Transformation can only come when something
  materially affects how we are.
• When we are feeling unloved and someone does a
  small kindness .

15

• The route to recovery is shown in the care
  pathways of our adult mental health services. The
  care pathways are central to the experience of
  every user of services. Is our map readable and
  are the signposts clear?
• Are there any log jams?

16

• I was bold enough to make mine a people carrier.
  The CPA process is our vehicle, it is symbolic of
  our need to work in partnership. It holds within
  it every care contributor. The entire skill mix
  should perhaps transform it into at least a mini
  bus or even a coach.

  mutual self revelation., it means the disclosure
  of deeper realities in two or more peoples
  lives. It pre-supposes trust, acceptance and a
