I found a gentler way
of being in my heart
and in the world
and settled down
a little more
into the quiet space
within my heart —
into the me
that always was —
just beneath the surface.

Space for Rest
May we be
the respite —
holding space
for rest
and continued healing
Amen.
A Tender Kind of Beauty
I found a tender kind
of beauty
in my own courage
to let go of the pieces
of my heart
for just a moment,
just long enough
to see
the beauty
through the pain.
But I found even
more beauty
in my willingness
to stand in the emptiness
and allow the pieces
to fall
back down.
Real Magic
And so life became
a little more magical
with each tiny surrender
as I learned to trust —
as I remembered
the real magic within.
Gently
And so I began
to trust
my own heart
to interpret
all that was unclear —
to allow the pieces
to fall back down
gently —
in a way I could understand.
The Unfolding
I came to the place
where there were
more questions
than answers.
And there I found
a sweetness
in the surrender
to the unfolding
of both answers
and mystery.
Underneath
I hold this silent prayer
in my deepest heart
for you and for me —
that we may always remember
the love that we are
in our purest form —
underneath.
Amen.
Naturally
The time came
to turn around
and search for the one
in me
that could hold
all of the rest —
naturally.
Daring To Wait
My heart chose
to linger
a little longer,
to listen
a little more reverently —
to be moved
by tenderness —
daring always to wait
for the next step to appear
in that mysterious place
of in-between.
No Words
Though my heart knew
there were no words
to describe,
it found comfort
in the pausing,
in the listening
and waiting
to hold
just one whisper
a little closer —
in remembrance
of its own unspeakable love.
