Help me to hold
what is here
with love —
to meet this moment
with honor
and grace,
the kind of grace
that allows
all that has been
too painful
or too much
to naturally transform itself
back into
its purest form.
Amen

Space for Healing
Let me be still
inside —
that I may notice
the voice of truth
in subtle things
and hold all
that has felt
most disconnected
and unloved.
Let my own heart be
space for healing
of the deepest kind.
Amen
Safely Back
Let me be
the quiet prayer
that led me
gently through
all things
and safely back
to the silence
of my own
deepest heart.
Amen
Always Enough
Remind me of
the importance
of silence.
Help me to
remember the delicate
balance of reaching
and retreating.
May the simple joy
of knowing I am following
my own perfect path
always be enough.
Amen
Quietly, Silently
Let this life move
in its most natural way —
quietly, silently
honoring and listening
a little more deeply,
living from beneath
the surface —
deeply rooted
in its own
pure essence.
Amen
A Place of Honor
I hold this silent prayer
in my heart
in honor of
all that has been
unloved,
misinterpreted,
and judged.
I meet it this time
with a place of honor,
respect and
unconditional love
for self and other.
Amen
Help Us To Remember
As the challenges
and transformations
of this life
continue to be,
help us to remember
what is most true,
to have courage
to move in the direction
of truth,
to see from a higher place
and to feel
from below the surface —
to remain firmly
rooted in
a love unmatched
and unaffected by anything
in this world
but its own clear reflection.
Amen
Moment of Reprieve
Thank you
for each step
of the mysterious
unfolding of life.
Help me to honor
the tender places,
my greatest challenges —
all unsorted pieces
that led me
to this moment
of reprieve.
Amen
One True Heart
Thank you
for being here —
for all the times
you took the chance
to soften your focus,
let go of pieces
you had held so tenderly,
and dared to believe
in the creative power
of one true heart.
The world is
a more beautiful place
because you are.
— for Michelle and all of us. Happy Birthday, dear friend.
Mysterious Somewhere
Let me be
a quiet prayer,
a whisper of hope
not quite heard —
the subtle shifting
out of which it forms,
the mysterious somewhere
into which it fades.
Amen
