In this moment,
I declare a truce,
a respite,
a little space
for healing —
here, in the stillness
of my heart.

I Am This
I am this holding
and this letting go
at the same time.
I am this holding
without trying
for any particular result —
holding what is here
exactly as it is
for as long as it needs —
holding without needing
to fix.
I am this.
A Little at a Time (Tossing)
Letting go
of all I can’t quite
figure out,
I toss the pieces up
or lay them down
gently,
trusting them
to come back
a little at a time
in the present moment,
in a way that is
just enough.
Holding
Listening with my heart,
allowing my thoughts
to be as they are,
I hold what is here
exactly as it is.
I hold it with love
or I hold it
however I can.
A State of Prayer
Letting go of trying
to sort and heal,
letting go of everything
I have been trying
to process,
trusting the pieces
to fall back down
a little at a time,
in a way I can understand,
I enter a state
of prayer.
To Continue On
I remembered
how I held
all of the pieces
of my own heart,
not knowing
how they would ever
fit together.
And I found comfort
in having taken the journey
and hope in my determination
to continue on
in a healing world.
This Silent Prayer
In connection with
the purest truth
that is my true being,
I hold this silent prayer
in my deepest heart
with purest intent
and gratitude
for all that has
found its way
to me
and all that is becoming.
Amen.
A Gentler Way of Being
At a certain point,
it seemed most fitting
to move in the direction
of emptiness.
And so I settled in
to the silence
within
and a gentler way
of being.
Within My Heart
I found a little magic
hidden just beneath
what could be seen
or understood.
And so I settled in
to the quiet space
within my heart
where there was nothing
to heal or sort.
To Focus Here
Just a little past
what could be known
in the usual way,
rooted firmly
in my deepest heart,
I dared to continue
to keep my focus here —
just to see
what might happen.
