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...

distortion

distortion: (lies)

distorted significance

1 word
played
1000 times

not my One Self
not true
but the mind
feeding itself pictures

stuck
it keeps pushing the repeat button
playing it over and over and over again

how many times will i hit the back button--
the replay

this old pity party
specialness
i need specialness
to compensate for
to pour on
these unattended wounds
i profess
to the world
silently
but as loudly and as often
as i can

"at your hands i die"
see me suffer

i am blood
raw meat
and bones
falling apart

in front of your eyes

"it is your job to fix me"

feely you no guilt for this?!

will you not admit
your
responsibility
for this unhappy mess?

oh what insanity this is!

and i dare
to call you
"friend"...

placing my murder in your hands

giving you nothing but hell
damnation
for
your
crime against

what only i can address

the envelope
with my name on it

i can no longer
assign
to you

no,
today i open the letter
to me

to see the problem
as it is

to see
the Answer
in the very same place

addressed to me

the problem
no longer exists

resolution

free at last

God is returned to me
and all
the world

no longer a punching bag

radiance

the artist

the artist of life
is the state of mind

of seeing

touching

tasting

every
thing

every
one

every
situation

again
and
again
and
again

always

for the very first time...

not knowing....anything...

what
are
you....?


today

everything
i
see...

myself,
for
the
very
first
time...

open

wide....

wider....

still....

source

truth

remains
underneath all fear/mistaken belief

always the whole

"source"

turns me around

to look

at the vastness
the depth
yet revealed

the unpondered
immensity
unfathomable
so much bigger than my mind

i have to let everything of form go

everything i understand

Fatherhood
true
Motherhood

what are you
that created
everything?

in the beginning
light

before time
light

before belief
light

before everything
light

light remains strong

Our Father
who art Heaven
holy, this idea
universal, all inclusive
no other possibility

Heaven is what i give to you
right here
right now

born of the same idea

my home
my only resting place
is
your peace

the war
forever lost
against reality...

source...

mercy

what does it mean
to give
and to receive?

it means
to give mercy
upon yourself

only innocence
can give
at all

a door nailed shut
gives nothing
i would want

the world waits
for your freedom
your joyous laughter

uncontrived
of mind

Spirit
wholly without your design

to simply be
the One Thing
it is

never two

differences
are but another
name for damnation

only mercy
can
be given

sight

she took away all her
cleaning utensils
because
she needed them
no more

friends are love
she found
and she didn't need to wash them

oh really?!

open water

beauty

as far as the eye can see

what boat
could possibley
disrupt
the ocean?

oh
you darling
egocentric
captain!

tell me again
this joke you tell
this myth

of how
your boat
is bigger
than
the sea!!!

(can you hear...
the waves....

laughing....?)

soundless

of silence
must your heart
be made

before sound
silence

after sound
silence

in between sound, each word
wave
motion
e motion
up rising

silence

stillness
continuity

i rose up
and forgot

now
in silence
i remember
the stillness
before
the sound


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.
