I vowed to stand
right where I was —
to loosen my grip
on life
just a little —
to let go of the pieces
and trust
what came back.
Quiet Reflections and Prayers
I vowed to stand
right where I was —
to loosen my grip
on life
just a little —
to let go of the pieces
and trust
what came back.
I trust
in this moment.
I have all I need.
It is safe to be still —
to look with love
at all that is
in my heart
and in my world —
to intimately know
the peace
that is here.
There came a time
when the parts
of me
that had worked
so hard
to find the way back
began to trust
just enough
to let go
a little more.
And so I became
even quieter
in my heart.
And I understood
what it really means
to be still
and to trust.
— Laurie, Healer of My Own Heart
I have written these words as my own medicine. I share them with you with love and a quiet prayer.
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.
