Meditation card – Laurie's Notes

The Essence

The peace found in the space within my heart began to spill over — until the essence of every experience became a prayer.

I learned to hold

and let go

of all of my experiences —

to hold a little longer

until all that was painful

was transformed

into something beautiful.

And then I remembered

how to listen directly

to silence.

In the center

of my heart,

I found

no concepts

and no words,

only the purest essence

of all of my experiences.

And though there was

the sense

of a returning

from the focused holding

in that place,

I found it was

and had always been

what was most true.

I had only forgotten.
