Remind us
of the sacredness
of the return to
the heart.
May we know
the joy found
in showing up
with reverence
for the quiet prayer
leading each of us.
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
No Going Back
Having experienced
the true beauty
of being part
of a living, breathing
aliveness
bigger than my own
personal,
often very difficult journey,
after having risked
everything to find it,
there was no pain
big enough
to overshadow its tenderness
and no desire
to go back.
The Most Precious Gift
In my darkest moment,
when I thought
I was most lost,
I received the most
precious gift —
the subtle knowing
of the exact, perfect mix
of holding
and letting go
at once.
Until There Is Nothing Else
Cover me in words
of the heart,
the untainted —
the inexplicable.
Whisper all that is
most true.
Remind me
again and again.
Tuck your love subtly
into my heart
until there is
nothing else.
Amen
No Words
I turned around,
remembering all who had
reached out a hand
when I thought
I was lost,
when I couldn’t hear
my own voice
or find my own
sacred ground.
And at last there were
no words,
no more questions —
no other choice
but to reach back.
Divine Remembrance
When you reach
a quiet place
and there is sadness,
when the world seems
a little too intense again,
close your eyes
and remember
the softness of your soul.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Unbroken
In the calmest part
of my heart,
that which
in all the shattering
couldn’t be broken,
there is solace —
here.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Quiet Connection
There is a
quiet connection
in the stillness
of my heart —
a peace containing
all emotions
and yet only love.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Never Again
When there were
no words to match,
when the outer world
failed to reflect
what was most true,
I vowed to stand stilll,
to hold my ground —
to never again
let go
of the stillness
within my heart.
