One day I found
I had become
the me who once seemed
so far away,
the me who comforted
and gently transformed
whatever appeared,
the me who dared
to stand still
and honor
all the pieces
of a heart
that thought it was
broken.

Sacred Hope
And so I vowed to live
in a new way,
fully present and grounded,
unafraid to be
among all that is messy
and unclear
and uncomfortable,
in surrender
to all that is most healed
in me,
holding space
for more healing
and sacred hope
for the transformation
of all that seems unhealable
and unsolvable —
in reverence
of my own experience
and yours.
Amen.
All That Seems Unreachable
I honor the places
in me
and in all of us
that can’t be spoken,
all the attempts
at healing
that turned into
more pain to sort —
all that seems
unreachable.
And I honor the courage
it takes now
to gather up
all of our unhealed wounds
with a purer love
and continue on
from here.
Amen.
I Hold This Prayer
I hold this prayer
for the places
in me
and in all of us
that have been dishonored
and unloved.
I release this prayer
with the tenderness
that comes out
of the courage
to continue on
from here.
Amen.
In This Moment
May we know
the beauty
and purity of being
in this moment —
holding
and letting go —
allowing
our own natural paths
to unfold.
Amen.
This Quiet Prayer
I hold this quiet prayer
in my deepest heart
where there are
no words —
only the purest love
that holds
and opens
to the most natural
unfolding
and removes all blocks.
Amen.
Within the Surrender
Within the surrender
to the natural flow
of life,
the need to cling
or alter
was replaced
with a deepening reverence.
The me that once needed
to be understood and healed
was transformed
into a quiet prayer.
Space for Rest
May we be
the respite —
holding space
for rest
and continued healing
Amen.
Only Love
Having seen the beauty
underneath,
I feared I might
have to leave —
to choose to stand again
on the surface.
And so I continued on
until it became clear
that there was
really nothing to fear
and nothing to choose —
only love.
Waiting For Words
One day I found
my thoughts
had begun to fall
too quickly.
And so I tossed
them all
back up
and waited
for words to come
down again
a little more slowly —
a little more gently —
a little more directly
into the emptiness
of me.
