Thank you
for being here
and for the little signs
in my heart
and in the world
that you are.
Amen
Quiet Reflections and Prayers
Thank you
for being here
and for the little signs
in my heart
and in the world
that you are.
Amen
I honor all that is
outside of me
in the same way
I honor all that is
within —
lightly holding
and letting go
in moving stillness.
I continued on,
no longer needing
to fill the emptiness
or sort all of the pieces,
trusting completely
in the unsorted heart
and in the mystery
that had carried me
safely back
to my own silent prayers.
I wish
to free myself
a little more —
living authentically
from my heart
in each moment
and letting go of the need
to know the end of the story
too soon.
At a certain point,
there was nothing else
to do
but hold and honor
all that couldn’t be sorted
and trust
in the mysterious power
of wordless prayers.
I am healer
of my own heart.
I embrace my wholeness
and my brokenness,
my vulnerability
and my strength.
And with love,
I let go.
I found comfort
in allowing myself
to be
a little unsorted.
And I found a respect
for the unfolding
of life
naturally overflowing
as I continued on
within the mystery.
With a little courage,
I stood still
in my heart.
And in this place,
I found I could see clearly
at last.
I found I was held
in a gentle embrace,
a deeper me.
I learned
to hold and let go
of all that found its way here.
And to my surprise,
I found I had embraced
this deeper me right back
and healed her
just the same.
Like a hidden secret,
underneath all of the pieces
so many had tried
to put together,
I found my own
inner healer
who was quite okay.
And I couldn’t help
but love her and me
as she loved
all of the pieces
of her heart.
I trust
in this moment.
I have all I need.
It is safe to be still —
to look with love
at all that is
in my heart
and in my world —
to intimately know
the peace
that is here.
