Have a gentle Friday.

❤ Laurie

With a little persistence,

I remembered

who I really am.

I found a natural way

to be in my mind,

in my heart

and in the world.

It became the most beautiful

movement

of holding and honoring

and letting go —

sometimes holding

a little tighter

or a little longer —

sometimes clinging

for a moment

to the edge!

But I always returned

to the natural flow

of love.

One day I decided

that I would accept this world

with all of its pain

and struggles

as I had accepted

my own shattered heart.

I would dare to stand

in the middle of all of it —

to see the beauty

underneath —

to remember

the purity of love

and the power

in its embrace.

One word must start each prayer…

May we find the natural path
to our hearts. And may we remember we are love. Amen.

And so there came

the moment of decision —

the choice

to keep going

with the struggle

or to turn around

and go back,

not back to the past,

but a different option —

the choice to go

a little further —

past the shame

and years of trauma —

past the struggles

to analyze and change —

past all of the noise in my head

and in the world —

back a little further,

a little deeper

to my heart.

Thank you, Trini, for sharing this. It is just perfect.

Holding just a little tighter today. ❤ This is for our little parts that need just a little more holding.

Very much love,
Laurie

Sometimes it’s nice,

even necessary,

to step back a little —

to pause,

to reconnect

with who I truly am —

to deeply listen

to my own heart

without the need for words.

There is no more. I just can’t get this read more off. 🙂 Continue reading “Prayer Break” →

And so my heart,

after all of its endless searching,

decided it was

perhaps a little more satisfied

to be still —

to surrender

to this quiet place

within —

where it didn’t need to seek.

I have learned

that this life can be

more than a little

hard to take

and that it can also be

surprising,

even a little silly —

all at once.
