Continuing On

A Gentler Way of Being

June 3, 2016June 3, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Letting Go

Quiet Wisdom

May 31, 2016May 3, 2018 Laurie's Notes

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 Silence Behind the Words

May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so I gathered

notes from my heart.

And I always,

at a certain point,

set them all down —

for it was

the silence

behind the words,

the pure love

from which they emerged,

I had longed for.

Letting Go

No Words At All

May 12, 2016May 12, 2016 Laurie's Notes

For a moment,

I let go of the pieces

of my heart,

set them down gently,

those that seemed

a little broken

or unsettled

and those that had

been mended.

And there was

a beautiful silence,

the purest kind of love

that had no words at all.

Waiting for Words

Just Beneath the Surface

April 29, 2016April 29, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Letting go

of the need to express

what could be seen

or thought,

letting go

into the silence,

I waited for words

to form —

to reflect the purity

of love

I had felt —

just beneath the surface.

Letting Go

Again and Again

April 27, 2016April 27, 2016 Laurie's Notes

All of the pieces

I have diligently gathered

and those I have set free

again and again,

I let them go —

tossing them up,

watching where they land.

This is who I am.

— Laurie, What’s Right Here

Letting Go

In Moving Stillness

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I honor all that is

outside of me

in the same way

I honor all that is

within —

lightly holding

and letting go

in moving stillness.

Letting Go

From My Heart

April 16, 2016April 25, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I wish

to free myself

a little more —

living authentically

from my heart

in each moment

and letting go of the need

to know the end of the story

too soon.

Letting Go

With Love

April 15, 2016April 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I am healer

of my own heart.

I embrace my wholeness

and my brokenness,

my vulnerability

and my strength.

And with love,

I let go.

Continuing On

A Little at a Time (Tossing)

March 23, 2016March 31, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Letting go

of all I can’t quite

figure out,

I toss the pieces up

or lay them down

gently,

trusting them

to come back

a little at a time

in the present moment,

in a way that is

just enough.
