Unfolding

March 24, 2016March 24, 2016 Laurie's Notes2 Comments

Underneath all that appears

on the surface,

I am the space

within my heart.

And I am

the unfolding —

the sacred journey back

to stillness.

Looking Through the Surface

March 24, 2016April 10, 2016 Laurie's Notes2 Comments

Looking through

the story on the surface

to the essence

of my experience,

holding and honoring

what shows itself to me

in each moment,

I listen

with my heart.

Space for Healing

March 24, 2016March 25, 2016 Laurie's Notes4 Comments

In this moment,

I declare a truce,

a respite,

a little space

for healing —

here, in the stillness

of my heart.

I Am This

March 23, 2016March 25, 2016 Laurie's Notes9 Comments

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)

March 23, 2016March 31, 2016 Laurie's Notes2 Comments

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.

A Little More Slowly

March 14, 2016March 18, 2016 Laurie's Notes4 Comments

When there were

no words,

I was silent.

And when there was

more than I could process,

I tossed it all

back up

and waited again

for the pieces

to fall back down

a little more slowly.
