Prayers

In My Heart

April 18, 2016April 18, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Thank you

for being here

and for the little signs

in my heart

and in the world

that you are.

Amen

Letting Go

In Moving Stillness

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Continuing On

Carried Safely Back

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Letting Go

From My Heart

April 16, 2016April 25, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Holding

Wordless Prayers

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

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.

Letting Go

With Love

April 15, 2016April 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Continuing On

Within the Mystery

April 15, 2016April 15, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Holding

Just the Same

April 14, 2016April 25, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Continuing On

All of the Pieces of Her Heart

April 14, 2016April 14, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Quieting

To Look With Love

April 13, 2016April 15, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.
