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

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.

Continuing On

Carried Safely Back

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

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.

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.

Quieting

To Look With Love

April 13, 2016April 15, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.

Quieting

Where All Was Love

April 13, 2016April 17, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so there was

a quieting,

a sacred holding,

the journey within —

where all was dissolved

into the purest love.

Holding

This Love

April 13, 2016April 20, 2016 Laurie's Notes

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.
