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.
Quiet Reflections and Prayers
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.
The road back
to my heart
seemed winding
and difficult at times.
And there were times,
along the way,
when I knew
without doubt
that there was
a deeper story,
when I knew
that it was in fact
these moments of
of pure knowing,
often in the middle
of the most difficult
experiences,
that reflected the vastness
of the love we are
so clearly.
It was these moments
that outshined
and overflowed into
every other moment.
At a certain point,
there was nothing else
to do
but hold and honor
all that couldn’t be sorted
and trust
in the mysterious power
of wordless prayers.
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.
I trust
in this moment.
I have all I need.
It is safe to be still —
to look with love
at all that is
in my heart
and in my world —
to intimately know
the peace
that is here.
And so there was
a quieting,
a sacred holding,
the journey within —
where all was dissolved
into the purest love.
I trusted completely
in my heart
and held my ground,
unsure of where
it would lead —
knowing the essence
of whatever appeared
from here
would have to match
the purity
of this love.
In the stillness,
I find connection
with the love
that is here,
that is me,
allowing this love
to flow out
into the world.
I am healer
of my own heart.
And I am love.
I loosened my grip
on what was
appearing on the surface,
focusing on the clear space
within my heart.
And this space seemed
to grow —
until there was
nothing else.
When the world
becomes noisy
and I can’t fit
all of the pieces together,
I will stand still
in my heart.
And I will find comfort,
knowing I am held
with love.
