Remind me
of the magic
found within
the very center
of our hearts,
the silence
that is always here —
that I may find
the thoughts that form
from a deeper me.
Amen

Gently Guided
Help me to move
in the way
of the heart.
Free my attention
to be gently guided —
holding unresolved experience
a little longer —
letting go
of unanswered questions —
opening even more
to love.
Amen
No Turning Back — Again
When we have reached
the place of
no turning back —
again,
when the road ahead
can’t be seen
and the past seems
to linger a bit too long,
remind us
of the ever-present calm
beneath the surface
and the honor
in holding
this space
for each other.
Amen
Softly
Whisper your love
softly,
in this place –
that we might hear
your voice
above all else.
Amen
Reflections of Love
I wish to reflect
all that is soft,
to offer my love
to all that is not —
to remind us
of the sacredness
of the journey
and the beauty
in the transformation.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
Where There Is Trust
May we come together
in this moment —
stepping outside
all the places
where we feel small
or wounded —
that we may see
from a higher place
and acknowledge our struggles,
no matter how small
or great —
remembering our true power
as wholeness —
uniting together
from this truer place
where there is
natural connection
and trust —
where there is true
and lasting healing —
finding courage
to show up
as our truest selves.
Amen
A New Draft
For the times
when there is
much emotion,
when challenges
have piled up
and the surface reflection
shows only separateness,
when we don’t know
where to start
to put the pieces together,
when we can’t see
the whole story,
may we find comfort,
knowing we are creating
a new draft,
participating a little
more fully —
letting go a little more
of needing it to go
a certain way —
writing this time
with our hearts.
Amen
Straight Through
Life continued to unfold
with all of its challenges
and pain
and beauty.
Questions like
Who am I
and the unshakeable
determination to keep
showing up
became more important
than any one insight
or set of
explanations —
pulling me each time
back a little more
into Self —
not deeper down
into thought,
but straight through
all if it
to its core —
where I sensed intuitively
and found great relief
in knowing
this as my center.
This Wholeness
When there is much
to sort through,
when we are tempted
to contract —
to pick up old habits
of playing small,
remind us
of the wholeness
we are.
Show us the tenderness
at our core
and right in front of us.
Give us courage
to be this space
of wholeness,
unfolding simultaneously
in these human forms.
Thank you.
Amen
Only This
There was a backing up,
a turning around
of some part of me
that once tried to
shape the world
to match what I thought
I wanted
out of the hope
of a me that had
forgotten who I am.
It was in this
turning around
and stepping back
a little more
and a little more
that I could see
ever more clearly —
until there was
a delicate holding
and letting go
of all it,
without condition —
and my deepest,
highest wishes
depended only on this.
