The Healing Power of Writing

Hi! Welcome to the Joy of Miracles.

To write is to uncover, to unhide, to bring to light, and express what is within. To share is the end of all private thoughts, all shame, all guilt, all pain and separation. Here is all Joy found at last! Writing helps us to repeat, focus, choose, and remember ideas. The purpose of this writing is healing for all of us.

This blog is inspired by "A Course in Miracles"and The Work of Byron Katie. You are invited to share your comments by clicking on the word "comment" at the end of each post. If you scroll way down there's a little info about me and also an archive of past writing you can view by clicking on the title. Thanks so much for visiting...

rest

rest

in your nest

upon your eggs

incubating
growing
living
now unseen
but there

life

happening out of sight
of our eyes

rest

share your warmth
with you

keep your Home
cozy
for you

new birth

creation
now

listen

songs
of Love
playing through you,
radio
radiance
radiator
from Home

listen
to you

it is your voice you need to hear

the radio plays
through
you

you are the receiver

listen
listen
listen

GodRealityLove
is speaking
in your quiet

in your quitting
in your sitting
in your surrender:

you are
enthusiasm

the waves roar
all the world assures you
cheers you
encourages you
supports
you

imagine
a million smiles
two eyes sparkling back at you
in the mirror

imagine
gratitude

imagine
a wave
you cannot stop
gushing over you
carrying you
along

the tide coming and going
it seems
yet always carried on
by the whole ocean

when you float in one spot
it is the whole ocean
that is under you

every fish
every bottom place
no holes in the floor
no gaps in the sea

every atom is there
for you

the power to smoothe rock,
to dissolve ships,
carries you

the way of it

the kitty just arrived
a gentle paw on my sleeve

everyone wants to be your friend

yes
of course of course!

i want to be
my friend

herein
is the end
of war

Cozy
Home

cush.....

meet demons

cshhhhhh....

with
g e n t l e n e s s . . .

let
them fall


land


gently


on a soft place


a soft spot
in our heart

demons
barbs
arrows
claws

aiming
to
snag
catch
pierce
adhere
take over
run wild

are nothing
when met
with
gentleness
elasticity

cushion
allows
the crash
the barging

the lash
doesn't hurt
when you give
a little

give way
for a tantrum

listen

and the beast soon tires
and sleeps

soothing
gentleness
fears nothing

holds no wall
allows all "enemies"
to speak

a friend
to all

gentleness

say what?

Tree,
tell me something.

there are so many view points....

points

of
viewing

from each leaf
from each part of each leaf
from the top of the leaf
from the bottom
newborn
and falling off

the view is true for it (from there)
no one can possibly contest it

no one else has ever actually been in that place at that time

so
listen
closely

without your viewpoint
without looking
for discrepancy

simply let
him
tell you
his way
in his way

now
you have loved him

that's all it takes (and no less...)

total acceptance
of his truth
in this moment

it doesn't mean you're wrong
it doesn't mean anything

you're only wrong
when you make him wrong

he sees it
how he sees it

and you
see it
how you see it

it's what is

agreed on that
we are one

no one needs to think like i do

not even me!!!!

herein
lies
the peace
of
God

so you think you think....

"It is because the thoughts you think you think
appear as images
that you do not recognize them
as nothing.
You think you think them,
and so you think
you see them." ( lesson 15 acim)

you think you
actually think that...

what if...
you
are being thought?

what if...
thoughts simply float in...

without any effort of yours?

what if....
you are just a watcher?

and you got confused
and started believing
that you are actually God!
and created yourself!
and all these thoughts!...

that you
are the Origin--
originator of ideas!

what if
they are not ever
yours

what if
there is One Mind
and you are just watching it...?

not believing it
nor thinking it

what if
you are not
the thinker,
but a thought...

not cause
but effect...
and everything else
is a thought of God
just like me

not mine,
nor my thought

what if it all came from the same place,
Love?

what if it
came with me,
for me

trees
chairs
cats
sky
sun
friends

husbands came with me

jobs came with me

daughters and sons
father and mother
came with me

bicycles
apples

nothing
having more importance
than anything else

what if?

i'm/we're floating through the Mind of God...

nothing to do

but rest


the Universe
is
complete

completely
Love

without
any
thought
from
"me"

amen.

life of inquiry

you
are the life
of inquiry

is is true?

through and through
to your core

deep in your heart
is it true?

be honest
that is all

no pandering to the ego
whims
ancient repetitions

but sincerely,
is this the authentic you
really speaking?

is there really truly
anything wrong with you?

can you really be different in some way
than the rest of the human race?

what planet do you think your parents came from
that you lack
something everyone else has
or
perhaps
that you have an extra insight
no one else can avail?

is that worry about the future
or regret about the past
really true?

is it proveable?

the fact that you are here
is a miracle

where did that power to exist
come from?

who/what caused you?

who/what causes Love

what's the source?

the ant doesn't know

simply let it be
open

re-vealed

not what "i" think

so so so much bigger
than the ant

is it really true
you're just an ant?

ant thinking
shows us
an ant world...
busy
busy
busy...

be still

rest

is it true?

obama,savior of the world

child's play

do we really think
Obama was the problem...ever?

that anyone
outside of us...
is the problem?

do we really think we solved something--
gained deep inner peace
safety
security
by killing a body?

oh dear cave baby mind...

do we really think
we won't wake up tonight
at 3 am in a sweat
of despair
and self doubt?

it's just plain silly...
a party?@!#

the log in my eye remains
holy
holy
holy
log in my eye
let it remain undisturbed
"me" unexamined

safety: i don't have to look
at my own crap fear denial projection

lay it all on Obama
Slay him!

and i am free of all my mistaken thinking
garbage
past
without doing any work at all

cherish delusion

i own no "evil" thoughts

i
have never hated
feared
been jealous
worried
lied
cheated
betrayed
attacked an innocent sleeping kitten--a child

find the insanity in you

the problem is not Obama!
never was
never will be

proliferate no more war in your own mind
reinforcing the dream
of "outside me"

LOOK in the mirror now
this is for you
where
are you
Obama
in your life?

how do you treat yourself
others
God?

attack does not work

only honesty
only truth
will ever
set us free
to love
and live
in total safety

in defenselessness (hide nothing)
my safety lies

amen
thank you Obama for showing me
what i have hidden from my Self
that it be seen
for what it is

denial of the Love
the only One
that ever is

and thank you partiers
for showing me how i, too,
still believe happiness and joy
can be found
in lies and hiding and sleep

and only innocence
remains

minus gravity

i watch my mind
look
at an idea

i see
it is attracted to it
i see
it rush toward it
embrace it
and not let it go

now the pictures
of the future with this idea
start coming

i don't do it
i can't stop it

they come
from the idea
i am clinging to

in this new world now
i feel the tenseness
the separation from every possibility
that exists outside
the world of this
idea

free fall

i see the pain
the stickiness

what would it be like
to let go
of this idea
and free fall?

no fists clenched tight
no holding on at all
no straps

no thing
no weight
at all

not even gravity

hmmm....
is this the experience
of levity?

so light
that i don't fall even the tiniest microscopic bit
but rise

minus gravity
i float

oh what a surprise!
who knew?

no wonder i held on for dear life (of my ego thought system....)

now i find
something so different
so unexpected

without a body,
without the identity of physics

what is?

About Me

My photo
I have been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1986. It has helped me tremendously to be a happier person by helping me change my perception of everything. I have found writing to be very helpful in the process of practicing, experiencing, and living the ideas in the Course. In 2006 I started sharing inspiration from the Course with a friend. Now it is a joy to share it with everyone. In 2009, The Work of Byron Katie found me at a woman's group. The Work is a way to identify and question your stressfuI beliefs. I dove right in and in April 2013 became a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. I work with people privately and offer online classes. Please visit www.joyofthework.com for more information. I also still occasionally lead the 11am Sunday Gathering at the Rocky Mountain Miracles Center in Denver.
