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.
Quiet Reflections and Prayers
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.
I continued on,
no longer needing
to fill the emptiness
or sort all of the pieces,
trusting completely
in the unsorted heart
and in the mystery
that had carried me
safely back
to my own silent prayers.
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.
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.
Here, in the stillness,
there is calm
and comfort in knowing
that hidden within
whatever appears
is something just a little
more magical
than it seems.
I came to this
clear space in my heart
where I could be
with my Self
in a different way,
where I could listen
for my true voice
that was always with me,
where I could find comfort
and connection.
I found what was
most important was
my own willingness
to show up
and to meet each
new moment
as it appeared.
I found life could be
beautiful and gentle —
a sacred journey.
When life got noisy,
I learned to turn around
and focus
on the clear space
within,
honoring your journey
and mine,
as we continued
as both wholeness
and unfolding healing
and grace.
