Thank you, Belleruth Naparstek, for a lovely day of guided imagery and learning. Your work has been important to so many of us in the healing community. You have inspired my own work in the field, and I appreciate your generous sharing today. Thank you also for your heartfelt poem:
Prayer
by Belleruth Naparstek
Just give me this:
A rinsing out, a cleansing free
Of all my smaller strivings
So I can be the class act God intended,
True to my purpose,
All my energy aligned behind my deepest intention.
And just this:
A quieting down,
A clearing away of internal ruckus,
So I can hear the huge stillness in my heart,
And feel
How I pulse with all creation,
Part and parcel of Your great singing ocean.
And this too:
A willingness to notice and forgive
The myriad times I fall short,
Forgetting who I really am,
What I really belong to.
So I can start over,
Fresh and clean,
Like sweet sheets billowing in the summer sun,
My heart pierced with gratitude.
