Like a hidden secret,
underneath all of the pieces
so many had tried
to put together,
I found my own
inner healer
who was quite okay.
And I couldn’t help
but love her and me
as she loved
all of the pieces
of her heart.

Quiet Reflections and Prayers
To Look With Love
I trust
in this moment.
I have all I need.
It is safe to be still —
to look with love
at all that is
in my heart
and in my world —
to intimately know
the peace
that is here.
Where All Was Love
And so there was
a quieting,
a sacred holding,
the journey within —
where all was dissolved
into the purest love.
This Love
I trusted completely
in my heart
and held my ground,
unsure of where
it would lead —
knowing the essence
of whatever appeared
from here
would have to match
the purity
of this love.
Within the Stillness of My Heart
It was my willingness
to allow the surface
to be
a little unsorted
that led me
most directly
to the unseen beauty
and clarity
within the stillness
of my heart.
More Magical Than It Seems
Here, in the stillness,
there is calm
and comfort in knowing
that hidden within
whatever appears
is something just a little
more magical
than it seems.
Healer of My Own Heart
In the stillness,
I find connection
with the love
that is here,
that is me,
allowing this love
to flow out
into the world.
I am healer
of my own heart.
And I am love.
All That Is Simply True
There is a certain kind
of joy
in not trying
to attract or create
a certain thing
or experience —
noticing the perfect
unfolding
in its purest form
and honoring
all that is simply true.
My Deepest Comfort
I return again
to silence —
to listen
with the very heart
I once viewed
as broken,
to stand still
where I was once
afraid to pass through —
to find
my deepest comfort
in all that I couldn’t
quite fit together.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
As It Is
I hold what is here
with love,
the natural unfolding,
this clear space,
the reverence —
all of this,
including all that is
painful and confusing.
I accept and love
all of it
as it is —
right here.
Amen.
