Underneath all that appears
on the surface,
I am the space
within my heart.
And I am
the unfolding —
the sacred journey back
to stillness.

Looking Through the Surface
Looking through
the story on the surface
to the essence
of my experience,
holding and honoring
what shows itself to me
in each moment,
I listen
with my heart.
Space for Healing
In this moment,
I declare a truce,
a respite,
a little space
for healing —
here, in the stillness
of my heart.
I Am This
I am this holding
and this letting go
at the same time.
I am this holding
without trying
for any particular result —
holding what is here
exactly as it is
for as long as it needs —
holding without needing
to fix.
I am this.
A Little at a Time (Tossing)
Letting go
of all I can’t quite
figure out,
I toss the pieces up
or lay them down
gently,
trusting them
to come back
a little at a time
in the present moment,
in a way that is
just enough.
Holding
Listening with my heart,
allowing my thoughts
to be as they are,
I hold what is here
exactly as it is.
I hold it with love
or I hold it
however I can.
A State of Prayer
Letting go of trying
to sort and heal,
letting go of everything
I have been trying
to process,
trusting the pieces
to fall back down
a little at a time,
in a way I can understand,
I enter a state
of prayer.
To Focus Here
Just a little past
what could be known
in the usual way,
rooted firmly
in my deepest heart,
I dared to continue
to keep my focus here —
just to see
what might happen.
