Reflections

The Unfolding

January 19, 2016January 19, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I came to the place

where there were

more questions

than answers.

And there I found

a sweetness

in the surrender

to the unfolding

of both answers

and mystery.

Waiting for Words

Daring To Wait

January 17, 2016January 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

My heart chose

to linger

a little longer,

to listen

a little more reverently —

to be moved

by tenderness —

daring always to wait

for the next step to appear

in that mysterious place

of in-between.

Waiting for Words

No Words

January 17, 2016January 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Though my heart knew

there were no words

to describe,

it found comfort

in the pausing,

in the listening

and waiting

to hold

just one whisper

a little closer —

in remembrance

of its own unspeakable love.

Prayers

Where Love Shines Most Brightly

January 16, 2016January 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let my heart

be light —

that it may be carried

though the challenges

of this life

and set down gently

in the hidden,

secret places

where love shines

most brightly.

Amen.

My Heart Remembered

January 16, 2016January 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

My heart remembered

a gentler path

where moments are gathered

and held

without grasping —

where words are

understood without trying —

where I wait

without wishing

for time to pass.

Where Magic Never Left

January 15, 2016January 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

One day I remembered

a simpler place

where thoughts

are gathered up

like flowers

and set down

without worry,

that unexplored place

of in-between,

where few were brave enough

to stay

and magic never left.

Reflections

Never Again

January 15, 2016January 15, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And in the healing,

there was grief —

for she vowed

to never again let go

of her own soul —

no matter how painful

the contrast became.

Waiting for Words

For As Long As It Took

January 14, 2016January 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so I became

the one that vowed

to wait

for as long as it took

to gather the pieces,

to hold

with love —

to let go

as the quiet prayer

I had always been.

Reflections

Only With Love

January 13, 2016January 13, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I gathered up

each little piece

of my own heart.

And with a quiet prayer,

I continued on,

setting down

all that had become

too heavy —

grateful this time

for the emptiness

that used to be too much —

trusting

that it would be filled

only with love.

To Move With Love

January 13, 2016January 13, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so life became

a little gentler

at each turn,

each time I chose

to pause,

to trust my own heart,

and to move

with love.
