Let me be
quiet
and empty —
that I might
hear the prayer
of my heart.
Amen

Just Enough
When there is
much to sort through,
remind me
to focus within.
Help me
to be present
in this moment —
In my heart.
I know it is
just enough.
Amen
This Time From the Heart
I honor the parts
of this life
that refuse
to be sorted out
and limited
by labels and
continuing stories.
I honor each part
of us
that rises up
to write a new story —
this time
from the heart.
Amen
Gently
Within this
state of prayer,
I hold,
ever so lightly,
what is in front
of me —
gently setting down
all else.
Amen
Forever
I return
in stillness
and in honor
of what is always
and only
right here,
seemingly distant,
yet instantly close —
so blindingly beautiful
that I would sit
forever —
just to hear
one more sweet whisper
of truth.
— Laurie, What’s Right Here
As a Prayer
No longer needing
to be neatly sorted,
I continued on
in search
of my own
true voice —
honoring all that had
gone before —
following the
painfully subtle
whispers —
gently shedding
all that was
no longer needed —
continuing on
as a prayer
that would forever
find its way.
Straight Through
I found
if I could
reach far enough
without giving up,
at the bottom of
every painful emotion
and experience
was this pure love.
And the way back
into it
was always
straight through.
The Unfolding
Underneath all that appears
on the surface,
I am the space
within my heart.
And I am
the unfolding —
the sacred journey back
to stillness.
Amen
Beautiful Tenderness
There was
a beautiful
tenderness
in going my own way —
finding just enough
courage
to trust
my own heart.
Naturally
I hold this space
within my heart
where all things
are naturally honored
and transformed.
Amen
