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

Gently
Within this
state of prayer,
I hold,
ever so lightly,
what is in front
of me —
gently setting down
all else.
Amen
As a Prayer
No longer needing
to be neatly sorted,
I continued on
in search
of my own
true voice —
honoring all that had
gone before —
following the
painfully subtle
whispers —
gently shedding
all that was
no longer needed —
continuing on
as a prayer
that would forever
find its way.
Within Our Hearts
Remind me
of the magic
found within
the very center
of our hearts,
the silence
that is always here —
that I may find
the thoughts that form
from a deeper me.
Amen
This Sacred Space
I offer this prayer
in quiet surrender
of every last piece
of what I could
never sort alone.
I hold only
this sacred space
in its place —
in honor of
pure love.
Amen
Already Sent
When you
can’t find
the words written
on your own heart,
may you find
comfort –
for I have
already sent
mine to you.
Amen
Naturally
I hold this space
within my heart
where all things
are naturally honored
and transformed.
Amen
Within My Heart
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
As a Prayer
Let us be
brave enough
to continue to follow
the path of our hearts,
the whisper of hope —
that mysterious pull
to search and explore
and feel the story
beneath the surface —
no longer out of the need
to be fixed
or to fix,
but because we have
felt that longing
in our chests
and dared
to set it down —
to feel the emptiness
in our hands,
if only for a moment.
Help us to trust
in our own ability
to hold this life
a little more gently —
to be willing
to continue on
in each moment —
as a prayer.
Amen
No Words Needed
Thank you
for this quiet prayer
that frees my attention
to focus again
on this experience
in front of me
and to follow
where it leads.
May it always return
to the quiet space
in my heart —
where all experience
is honored —
where there is
always just enough
understanding and insight —
where no words
are needed
but flow
out sweetly anyway.
Amen
