Forever

November 16, 2016November 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Somehow,

in the middle of chaos,

gentle whispers

and subtle knowings

were heard

above the noise

offering guidance

and hope

through quietly

whispered prayers

and leading

straight through

all that couldn’t be

sorted out

on the surface

to an organic,

magical and sacred

journey back

to my own true self

and a life

worth living,

a life no longer focused

on results and manipulation,

but on the sacred honor

of holding

and honoring

the complete mystery

of it

and a vow to

hold steady

in this sacred space

forever.

Here

November 15, 2016November 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let my feet be

firmly planted

here,

in my deepest heart.

When it is time

to speak out,

guide my words.

When it is time

to listen,

help me

to listen deeply.

And always,

always hold me

and help me

to be

here.

Amen

Honoring, Unsorted

Space For Healing

November 13, 2016November 13, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found

moments in time

to be part of

a continuous flow

of life.

Holding these moments

lightly,

no longer needing

to cling

or sort each one

completely,

I began to find

my way back

to my deepest heart —

where there is calm —

where all that is sacred

is held safely

and honored.

There was still pain

in many forms,

but places inside

that had once pulled me

out of this place

and sent me searching

for reprieve

began to disappear

before me —

leaving more and more

space for the deepest

kind of healing

in my heart

and in the world

around me.

The Call To Listen

November 9, 2016November 11, 2016 Laurie's Notes

There came a time

for the setting down

of seeing only

the surface,

when the call

to listen

to silent prayers

of our hearts

and my own reaching

for truth

could no longer

be ignored.

And so I let go

of tightly held

ideas of how

life should be

and began

to show up

as I was,

as it was,

trusting in the

pull toward wholeness,

however it appeared

on the surface.

Honoring, Unsorted

No Words

November 6, 2016November 6, 2016 Laurie's Notes

When there are

no words

to express —

when what is

most real

can’t be reached,

speak with your

heart anyway,

I will feel

the message.

Amen

Never Lost

November 4, 2016November 4, 2016 Laurie's Notes

It didn’t matter

so much

after a while

if anyone else

could hear

this quiet prayer

from within

our hearts.

It only mattered

that I knew

it was there —

safely tucked away —

forgotten,

but never lost.

Prayers, Unsorted

Prayer of My Heart

November 1, 2016November 4, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let me be

quiet

and empty —

that I might

hear the prayer

of my heart.

Amen

Prayers, Unsorted

All That Is Required

November 1, 2016November 1, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let this life

unfold

as a prayer

and proof

of all that is

beautiful and

mysterious.

Help us

to walk through

all that is required.

Amen

Prayers, Unsorted

Just Enough

October 31, 2016March 19, 2017 Laurie's Notes

When there is

much to sort through,

remind me

to focus within.

Help me

to be present

in this moment —

In my heart.

I know it is

just enough.

Amen

This Time From the Heart

October 31, 2016November 4, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I honor the parts

of this life

that refuse

to be sorted out

and limited

by labels and

continuing stories.

I honor each part

of us

that rises up

to write a new story —

this time

from the heart.

Amen
