A Million Words Unspoken

February 17, 2016March 8, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I held

all that needed holding

in my own heart.

There were notes

and healers

and insights.

There were sleepless nights

and more questions

and a million words unspoken.

There was letting go

and returning.

But looking back,

there was only the holding.

Waiting for Words

Already Written

February 17, 2016February 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I return

to this place,

unafraid to stand now

in the silence —

to wait for words,

not to explain or create,

but to pour out

all that is

already written

on our hearts.

— Laurie, Heart Space

Something Beautiful

February 17, 2016February 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found in me

a tender place,

a vulnerability —

the place of

my deepest pain,

beyond my own personal

pain —

passed to me

in hope that I would

have the courage

to honor and let go

of all that was

no longer needed —

to hold

all that was left

with all that appeared

for as long as it took

to transform itself

into something beautiful.

Beautiful Surrender

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found myself

in beautiful surrender —

trusting in the unfolding

of all I didn’t quite understand,

yet sensed

ever so subtly

as gently whispered prayers

from within my deepest heart

so many times before.

Untamed

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I had held

few things as pure

as the gentle whispers

of my own untamed heart.

And so I let go

a little more completely —

letting go

of all I had held

so deeply

for so long —

letting go

of each precious piece

so that it might remain

as it was already —

free.

All That Surrounds

February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I wondered what

I could possibly be

if I wasn’t all that appeared

on the surface.

And then it occurred to me

that I would be

all that surrounds —

all that is most pure.

I would be

the gentle embrace

of love.

And I would be

free.

Just Beyond

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I hold this space

just beyond the noise

and struggles

of being

in a healing world.

And when your own

true voice

seems so far,

remember a quiet prayer

was written

in this place for you.

The Words I Couldn’t Write

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so I set off

on the sacred journey

to the heart —

determined to return

with some kind of map.

But I soon laughed

at the thought

as I gathered and tossed

each crumpled attempt.

So funny,

what a joke —

that the somewhere

I had tried

to lead us to

was right there

in the surrender

of the words

I couldn’t write.

Space for Healing

February 14, 2016February 14, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let us hold

the sweetest kind of love —

the subtle remembrance

of a deeper truth —

space for healing

and the natural unfolding

of life —

of which we are a part.

Amen.

With Love

February 12, 2016February 12, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I hold what is here

with love,

as it is in me,

as it is in you —

as it gently transforms itself

back into its purest form.

Amen.
