Author: Laurie's Notes

I found healing

in my willingness

to hold

whatever is in this moment —

to allow this holding

to reach deep down

within my heart —

to follow this holding

into the space

where there is only love.

Let me remember

the sound of my own true voice

hidden underneath

each experience

and all distractions.

Give me courage

to speak

from the quiet place

within my own heart.

Amen.

 I dared to reach a little further,

to hold all that was

in need of holding

in my own heart and in the world

just a little longer,

just a little more —

just a little past

the stories on the surface —

to continue to trust

 in the power of reconnecting

with the space within —

to remember

the beauty and wisdom

 in the depths

of where I had once been

afraid to look.
