And so it is,
with an open heart
and open hands —
that I offer the purest love
and gratitude to all that is
in the highest good
for all of us.
Amen

Deeply Connected
I found I didn’t need
to share
all of the details
or sort them all out
in my head
in order to be
in my heart
and in the world.
It was enough
to hold
the connection to
a little deeper place
in me
and to see it reflected back
in unexpected
and subtle ways.
And to my surprise,
I felt more deeply
connected.
In That Space
I turned down
all of the noise
around me
and inside.
And in that space,
I found my Self.

A Little More Naturally
I found I began
to create
a more peaceful life
a little more naturally
as I continued
to flow
out of this space
within my heart.
All That Fit Just Right
I began to trust
the place in me
that knew how to listen
with my heart,
not taking in
so deeply
all that had been
too much —
holding space
for all that fit
just right.
Silent Spaces
There was a lightness
that came
from not needing
to follow every thought
and a little magic
in the courage it took
to stand
in the silent spaces
in-between.
Nothing Else
I hold this space
in my heart,
this once forgotten place,
in honor of all that is
gentle and soft
and all that is mysterious
and unloved –
knowing that,
in this place,
nothing else is needed.

As It Is
This peace comes
from the courage
to be present
right here –
where there are
many thoughts
and many distractions –
where there is acceptance
of all of this,
where all is surrounded
in love,
mixed up together –
somehow, mysteriously
becoming
beautiful as it is.

Remembrance
May we find
a place of stillness
within —
remembering always
the truth
of who we are.
And may we live
from this place.
Amen
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Within the Mystery
After a while,
I began to respect
and honor
my part within
the mystery.
I found it was
safe to let go
a little more
and continue on —
trusting in
a peace
I didn’t quite understand.
