Prayers

The Unfolding

October 24, 2016October 24, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Amen

Just Enough

October 24, 2016December 30, 2017 Laurie's Notes

Remind me

of the tenderness

in going

my own way –

finding just

enough courage

to trust

my own heart.

Amen

Gently Guided

October 20, 2016October 20, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Help me to move

in the way

of the heart.

Free my attention

to be gently guided —

holding unresolved experience

a little longer —

letting go

of unanswered questions —

opening even more

to love.

Amen

Within My Heart

October 20, 2016October 21, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let my heart be

open —

that I may feel

my way through

this world,

as I have felt my way

within my own heart.

Amen

Prayers

One True Heart

October 20, 2016October 20, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Thank you

for gently whispered

prayers and the beauty

found in our one true heart

reaching out

for itself,

refusing to be bound

by lesser things,

daring to see

and embrace

its own true beauty.

Thank you for those who

dare to reach back.

Amen

No Turning Back — Again

October 18, 2016October 19, 2016 Laurie's Notes

When we have reached

the place of

no turning back —

again,

when the road ahead

can’t be seen

and the past seems

to linger a bit too long,

remind us

of the ever-present calm

beneath the surface

and the honor

in holding

this space

for each other.

Amen

Prayers

Softly

October 18, 2016October 19, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Whisper your love

softly,

in this place –

that we might hear

your voice

above all else.

Amen

Prayers

From This Place

October 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Give us strength

to hold our ground

in our hearts.

If ever there was

a need for such strength,

it is surely now.

Help us to remember

what it feels like

to listen

from this place —

to filter out

what is most true —

that we will

always find our way.

Amen

Prayers

Forever

October 15, 2016October 15, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Remind us

of the power

in our willingness

to pause

for a moment —

to go within —

to honor

what is here

as it is —

allowing what is

naturally transforming

and returning to

the quiet space

that is

forever.

Amen

Prayers

Lightly

October 13, 2016October 13, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let us remember

the natural way

all things appear,

transform,

and fade.

Remind us to

hold each other

lightly —

that we may remember

the gentle way

of our own hearts.

Amen
