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...

drugfree

defense is a response

to a thought of lack

which takes the idea  of lack/threat SERIOUSLY



now we are in deep shit


we've taken a hit from the fear pipe

it flows through our veins
poisons our heart
immobilizes our decison maker

the hallucinations 
the fantasies
the trips 
begin

we are lost in "wonderland"

now everything in this unreality seems but real--

amazing or frightening or ecstatic  

but never for long

change is certain


and the end of this trip as well


we realize the effects of our fear taking

and we realize the cause

and we would no longer pop pills of fear

ADDICTION IS NOT FREEDOM


we recognize the pusher

when he comes  around

and recognize we no longer want the disastrous effects


we would no longer lose
our family
our friends
our Self
we would no longer lose our true identity
FOR NOTHING

we would no longer be homeless
under a bridge
surviving on scraps and crumbs

this is no place for Joy

today we choose Joy instead
and let ourselves be drawn to Her
wholly without fear

today we walk freely 
toward God
with no other possible goal in sight

in defenselessness lies God
in defenselessness is all freedom
in defenselessness I AM

love, Joy

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.
