When we are shattered into a million pieces, can we love? Crawling on our bleeding knees, gathering the pieces, attempting to mold ourselves into something worthy. Longing feels as vast as the ocean wide, it has the strength to blanket us in shame. I no longer want to live this lie. I choose the Light. I beg of you, let me bask in this splendor a moment longer. Bath in the warmth of the morning sun.

At this moment I happen to be in one of those portals. It feels as though yet another threshold has appeared beneath my feet. For many years, I devoted myself to creating a world that gave me the greatest sense of safety, security, stability, and routine. I needed that then. I needed my body to rest and to quiet my mind. Gradually, year after year, something began to change, my nervous system...]]></description><link>https://www.brookelaura.com/post/dance-of-uncertainty</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9107973467d57c2cee8674</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2026 04:16:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d09ec9_4e298b4c169f4366a36e7be1d97a9f4e~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_675,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Brooke Laura</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfolding ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The slightest brush of your presence, my body trembles, something ancient within me stirs.  My body knows before my mind can name it.  I surrender.  In the field between us, power is not domination.  It is devotion. It is the silent promise that what unfolds here will be held with care. I want to know nothing of your name, your history. I want only the stories your body has to tell. Your gaze whispers everything words cannot.  The truth your eyes have been waiting to reveal.

Stories rewriting themselves. I walk along, disoriented. This is my past my bloody wounds guiding me down illusory alleyways. I don't know which way is Home. I’ve been searching all the while walking backwards. Exhausted, I rest at the water’s edge. A heron flies overhead elegant movement, seamless fluidity. I love her. Another appears, coupled in...]]></description><link>https://www.brookelaura.com/post/the-water-s-edge</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8bc2c44e12adafbf7e5dc5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 04:07:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d09ec9_dde1d61236b64301acd59db66b5d47f0~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_736,h_491,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Brooke Laura</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
