Continuing On

With an Open Heart

Laurie's Notes

Lead me gently

as I continue on.

Help me to show up

in each moment

with an open heart —

to experience what is

here —

knowing the connection

with my own

inner healer

in each moment —

trusting the ultimate

care of others

to their own —

remembering

the tenderness

and honor

in being a part

of this continuing

mystery

and of this great

love.

Amen

Continuing On

Without a Doubt

Laurie's Notes

I had stood

on the edge.

I had looked darkness

in the face.

I had searched

my own soul

down to the core

and held the tiniest

point of light.

And I had grown

tired.

I had screamed

and cried.

And I had

given up —

for a while.

I had found comfort

and regathered

my heart

in pieces

and yes,

prayed —

to whoever could hear —

again.

I had listened

to whoever dared

to share

anything that resembled

what I had known

and let go of

and knew again

in that moment —

without a doubt.

Quieting

No Matter What

Laurie's Notes

I found

that no matter what,

I was a flexible,

creative,

evolving being.

I could let go

of thoughts

and stories,

while honoring

all that had

brought me to each

new moment.

No matter what,

I was connected

with the part of me

that was

most whole.

No matter what,

I could easily follow

my attention

until my most natural

position was

within the quiet prayer

of my heart.

Honoring

Wordless Prayers

Laurie's Notes

I found I could

feel my way

through this life

as I let go

a little more

of cluttered thoughts

and ideas

of how it should

look.

I found comfort

in the subtle insights

I once tried

to sort out.

There was a natural

reverence for my own

journey

and for others.

Prayers became

more wordless

as I began to trust

the one continuous

quiet prayer

I once

turned away

because the contrast

had seemed too vast.
