Continuing On

Longings

Laurie's Notes

I found

all those old

longings to be seen

and understood

and invisible

and left alone

and right

and all that other

Stuff

had actually been

multiple sides

of the same longing for

my own whole

Self.

When I was connected,

I found life to be

a little less

conditional

and a lot more

fun.

Honoring

Remembered

Laurie's Notes

I found a lightness

I had forgotten

and remembered

somewhere

along the way.

I was thankful

for all that had

led me around

and through

to that exact

point —

though I could offer it

no words.

I was thankful

to know

we were all

evolving.

I was honored

to continue on —

to focus

a little more sweetly

on where we were

going.

I knew it was

a really tender place.

And I knew it was

a tender place

right where we stood.

Quieting

Within My heart

Laurie's Notes

There was a different

quality of thought

that appeared

out of the emptiness

left behind

as I dared

to drop old

scattered thoughts

and reflections.

After a while,

this became

a natural way

of being in my heart

and in the world.

There was a kind of

self discipline

and loving restraint,

a quiet encouragement

to acknowledge

and look away

from old ways

and focus instead

on what was

already present —

holding space

for even more healing —

within my heart.
