Holding

Just Beyond

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I hold this space

just beyond the noise

and struggles

of being

in a healing world.

And when your own

true voice

seems so far,

remember a quiet prayer

was written

in this place for you.

Space for Healing

February 14, 2016February 14, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Let us hold

the sweetest kind of love —

the subtle remembrance

of a deeper truth —

space for healing

and the natural unfolding

of life —

of which we are a part.

Amen.

Thank You for Safe Spaces

February 11, 2016February 11, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Thank you

for safe spaces —

for gentle voices

can feel a little

out of place

in a noisy world

and grow most effectively

in silence.

Thank you

for all that has refused

to toughen up

or fit in —

for we could use

a few more

quiet prayers.

Amen.

Only Love

February 8, 2016February 11, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I found I had

just enough courage

to turn down

the noise,

to reconnect with my own

true voice —

to follow the notes

written on my heart

all the way,

as far as I could reach

until there were

no more words —

only love.

As I Remember

February 7, 2016February 7, 2016 Laurie's Notes

Should I ever forget

who I am,

remind me gently.

Guide me safely

back to my heart.

Hold me lightly —

as the journey

can seem so long.

Love me deeply

as I remember.

Amen.

With Open Hands and a Quiet Prayer

January 25, 2016January 27, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I dared to stand

just a little longer

in the quiet spaces,

to listen

a little more deeply

with my heart —

to embrace all that found

its way to me

and all that left

with open hands

and a quiet prayer.

This Emerging Love

January 22, 2016January 23, 2016 Laurie's Notes

I began to notice

the quieter,

natural kind of joy

that came

out of the most

subtle shifting

of my own heart.

And I knew it was

safe to trust

in the unfolding

of my own path

and yours

and in this

emerging love.

Without the Words

January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 Laurie's Notes

And so I stood still

in my heart,

surrounded by the many

thoughts I had gathered

and set free —

the quiet whispers

that had led me

ever so gently

back to this sacred space.

And I found my prayers

had always existed here —

without the words.

Remembrance

December 25, 2015December 25, 2015 Laurie's Notes

Let us remember

the quiet moments,

the ones that leave

notes on our hearts

and hold a space

for love

in its purest form.

Amen.

Forever

December 15, 2015December 16, 2015 Laurie's Notes

I found peace

in looking a little deeper —

through the stories

on the surface.

And though I couldn’t

quite explain

what I had found,

I saw that quiet space

in everything.

And I was changed

forever.
