Reflections

On the journey

into my own shattered heart,

just below

all of the unanswered questions,

I found

that what I had believed to be

something terribly wrong

with me

had been a mirage,

a reflection

of what was not just in me,

but in all of us.

And I found there was

really nothing particularly special

about me either,

except for the persistent symptoms

that urged me to keep listening

a little more deeply

and the desire to find

some way to reflect

the peace and wisdom

and hope

hidden underneath

all that was untrue.

A note about my little notes:

I write these little notes as medicine for my soul and share them so that others may also experience the subtle healing I have

found through this process of listening as I write.

I suggest listening, not with your mind, but with your heart.

May you know the beauty in your own heart — for this is where the real healing is. My words are simply reflections of this.

Very much love and gratitude,

Laurie
