When life feels overwhelming, we are hurting, or not sure of our path, we can create a clearing in the forest of our lives, wait there, and listen deeply. Laurie reads Martha Postlewaite’s poem "Clearing” and invites you to meet yourself in stillness.

Transcript

Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose.

Instead,

Create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it.

Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worth of rescue.
