And so I began
to show up
in a new way,
with only a quiet prayer
in my heart
and a mind free
of clutter,
not because it had been
neatly sorted out —
but because it hadn’t.

Funny Thing
What a funny thing
to realize there was
really nothing
to piece together
or figure out
or search for
so deeply.
I only had to
to find courage
to stop all that trying.
Where I Am Whole
It’s the stillness
I return to,
where thought arises
in the moment,
taking on a
deeper meaning
beyond thinking —
where each part flowes
into the next,
and I am whole.

This Space Within
Let us hold
this space for healing
within our hearts.
Even as the outer world
goes through
its own transformations
and we are faced with
all that appears —
all in need
of honoring —
all that needs
to be released,
let us hold
this space
that needs nothing else.
Amen
With Love
Help me to hold
what is here
with love —
to meet this moment
with honor
and grace,
the kind of grace
that allows
all that has been
too painful
or too much
to naturally transform itself
back into
its purest form.
Amen
All That Is Here
There is peace
in all that is here —
refusing to be
packaged up neatly,
honored to be
as it is.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Where Love Is Enough
When I reach the the edge
of the known,
when I can’t see
past the very next move,
I will stand still
in my heart.
And I will continue on —
for I have held
the most
precious treasures
where the purity
of love needed
to stand in that place
is enough.
The Power of Pure Love
I believe
in the power
of pure love
and transformation.
I choose to follow
the path
of my heart
and stand
in the fire
of my soul.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Space for Healing
Let me be still
inside —
that I may notice
the voice of truth
in subtle things
and hold all
that has felt
most disconnected
and unloved.
Let my own heart be
space for healing
of the deepest kind.
Amen
Safely Back
Let me be
the quiet prayer
that led me
gently through
all things
and safely back
to the silence
of my own
deepest heart.
Amen
