Prayers

Along the Way

May 21, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Journeys can

sometimes be challenging.

May we find courage

to trust

in their unfolding

and a little comfort

and beauty

along the way.

Amen

Unsorted

Untamed Space

May 20, 2016May 20, 2016 Laurie's Notes

There was a quiet honoring

that happened

quite naturally.

And I didn’t want

to sort too much

or add too many words

to spoil the natural,

untamed space

in my heart.

Quieting

Deeply Connected

May 17, 2016May 18, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found I was

deeply connected

with life

in each moment.

And all of the ways

parts of me

used to cry out

began to fade

beautifully

into the background.

Prayers

The Quiet Place Within

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

May we see ourselves

from a higher place,

honoring our wounds

and our wholeness —

never losing touch

with the quiet place

within —

where unconditional love,

true healing and compassion

are born.

Amen

Where Words Couldn’t Go

May 5, 2016May 5, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found there was

always space

within my heart.

And there was comfort

where words couldn’t go —

the silent places into which

they faded

and appeared again

in different forms

without ever losing

their true essence.

Continuing On

In Sweet Surrender

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

And so my heart

was drawn

to all that was

simple and pure.

And my mind was clear

and still —

no longer desiring

to push or impose —

in sweet surrender

to my heart.

A Different Voice

May 2, 2016May 2, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let our focus be

on listening

a little more deeply,

below the surface —

that we may hear

a different voice —

the quieter,

more subtle knowing

within.

Amen.

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.

Holding

At Last

April 20, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found I could,

at last,

hold the gap

between the pure essence

of my inner heart

and the unfolding

within and around me.

And though the contrast

was still great,

I found I was stronger.

This time,

instead of letting go

of my Self,

I held my ground.

Prayers

In My Heart

April 18, 2016April 18, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Thank you

for being here

and for the little signs

in my heart

and in the world

that you are.

Amen
