I vow to be
in my heart
and in the world
in a new way,
holding
and letting go
in each moment
as best I can,
honoring
my own experience
and yours —
knowing you are
also holding
this same silent prayer.
Amen

The Natural Way
After a while,
I began to trust
the quieter moments
of in-between.
I began to see
the beauty
in the ability
to keep my focus
on what was most real
and true in my heart,
no matter what was
appearing on the surface —
trusting in
the natural way
the love I found there
always spilled over.
A Gentler Way of Being
I found I could
carry on —
relaxing into
a gentler way of being —
naturally letting go
of the many pieces
of me —
trusting what was needed
would continue
to fall back down
a little at a time
in a way that was
just enough.
Beyond What Could Be Written
I began to love
and honor
the place in me
I had tried so hard
to help,
the part already
in tune
with the natural unfolding,
connection,
and silence beyond
what could be written.
Love and blessings,
Quiet Wisdom
At a certain point,
I began to set down
the tools I had gathered.
I stopped looking
to gather
and sort
and perfect.
I started showing up
a little more fully
and listening,
a little more attentively,
to the quiet wisdom
within my own heart.
The Space Within My Heart
I am the space
within my heart,
protected and safe —
free to flow in any direction
without effort,
without trying to seek
or learn
or perfect.
I am this —
as I have always been.

Within My Heart
One day I found
I could leave
my thoughts
in a safe place,
in my own heart.
I found I didn’t
need to sort them
all at once.
I could trust
the healer in me
to present just enough
in each moment.
And so I let go
a little more
into this space
within my heart.
With Love
There were no words
to describe
the sacred journey
and finding
a little magic within —
right in the middle
of what seemed to be
an impossible path.
My only wish
was to reflect
a little of this magic
out into the world
so that she might
remember and continue
to transform herself
with love.
Where There Is No More Path
I became unafraid
to turn a different way.
And I didn’t mind
the silence
long pauses,
or solitude
because I had seen
the most beautiful treasures
where there is
no more path.
After a While
Peace, I found,
wasn’t at the end
of a neatly sorted
journey,
but in each moment
I dared to look life
straight in the eye
and see through
what appeared on the surface.
After a while,
the tender beauty
in being able to hold
and let go of
whatever appeared
with grace and honor
and space
became the essence
of every experience.
