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...

Eternity

this day is God's

i let me
be told

this is God's Thing
God's scene

what am i here for, God?
what would you have me do?

this is all your call

this is God's world/Reason/Purpose
not mine

i sit and wait
for direction

i clearly do not know
what God has in mind

this is Your Party
You hosted this event

this is God's carpet i walk on
not mine

this whole thing
is God's idea
and i don't know
what that is

i accept
this whole thing
is God's,
not mine

it came from somewhere
far beyond my self

it's time
for Eternity
to speak

i let Eternity
give me my purpose

the message of: Eternity

Eternity speaks through you
today
this day is Eternity
changeless

Eternity
wills you know it

Eternity
is your Home
where you rest
forever
undefiled

i allow Eternity to speak

silence to the chopping up of time
of worry
because of concepts
of fractions

fractions of seconds
call our hearts to beat faster
and adrenaline to rush through
our
veins

because of what?

a hand on a clock
a tick in our ear
and we give it
image
a meaning
of hell
and loss
and damnation

because of a "date" on a calendar

a "premature" death

oh tell me
dear one
you who see yourself as spiritual goddess

when is the concept of death appropriate
and

lovely?


when

is the right time
to love
the end
of Eternity?


what insanity
to hold so dear
the separation of Eternity
into parts

rather
than
rest

in the Whole


this day
is
Eternity

mother's day

my mother
passed away
today
at 5:30 am

open
open
open

to receive
Her King

the time for passing
is an entrance

an opening

your Mother comes to you now
in this moment,
the appointed time,
in every way She can

always always always

only open eyes
are required
to see
God

to receive
what is literally
pouring out

open session
with Jesus
now

the bright light
you once knew
holding forth
reality

no more questions
no more doubts
rock solid assurance

MotherLove
so much bigger than we have ever imagined
completely free
of details
car shells
and pledges

MotherLove
the end
of hallucinations

a millimeter of starlight
is still starlight
it's still all light
no darkness in it

so the MotherLove
Purity
sees no illusions
at all

Pure Delight
to see the light
where you are looking

delighted in rocks
in canyons
in wide open spaces
in girls and theater
dresses and colors
turquoise and eyebrows
babies and kittens
cinnamon toast and a tv screen

what is a mother
but delight
sharing itself

joy exclaimed to the world

look look look at my
beautiful baby!

see how she smiles
and holds so tight to my finger
see the round shape of her tummy
and see the curly hair

see how much i love her

world, joy is possible!
grand things
grand parents
grand children
grandeur
and grand canyons

grants of time
moments given
designated and dedicated
specifically for the knowing experience
of Mother

of loving another
of being
in Love

Pure mind
no conflicting thoughts

a family,
this Mother
loves
Her Joy,
Her Self

all there is
all there ever was
all there ever will be

MotherLove

a dirty mind

Father,
thank you for showing me
my "dirty" thoughts...

duality:
a world of cars
some sparkling like new
clean, shining, beautiful
and valuable

others
covered in mud
inside and out
what good is this?
what use to me?
i need a clean car
i cannot drive this--
what is it even?
just muck
ugly
work
no one could ever get this car
clean and sparkling again

may as well write it off
it's trash now

avoid it
regret it
grieve that such things can happen!

but
oh
such good news!

no such duality exists
no car
damned for eternity
no "problem" nor difference at all

here are the simple directions:
1. the car is not damaged
2. do not trash it
3. mud is not bad, not evil, not cruel--
it has not harmed the car in anyway...
it's simply a "silly" place to put it
4. clear water/thought rinses off the mud
5. the shining sparkling new car remains
forever beautiful
exactly as Her brother

all thoughts are helpful

avoid nothing

She
is your Gift
in everything

smoke signals

sadnes


is
but a
smoke signal

a powerful

sign

to tell us
something is not right

...our conclusion
that we are a body,
our way of thinking
is
futile


we welcome
value
appreciate
the smoke signals!

sadness is a powerful messenger

she is here to
turn our head

she is not "bad"
she is not something to get rid of
she is not nothing
she is
helpful

only gratitude
is due

a sunny sky/clarity
is not possible
where thinking is confused

clouds, like an empty gas tank signal,
assist us to make immediate correction

that love may be ours now

open to receive

whenever anyone asks you
for anything...

it is so you
can receive

by giving
(what you are)

here
is how
you receive/accept
your Self

you see it
so now
you can believe it

this is the opportunity
your brother holds out to you

your treasure house
seen

opened
and spilling out
to give away

here
is
Joy
shared

shining
astonishing
pure

Friendship


"to have, give" (All to All)

less is extravagant!

less
is
MORE

what can i do without........

and be richer?

undoing
NOT doing
giving
up

(let's take away from our list.....not add more.....of our.......thinking.....)

i will no longer value
what
is
valueless

question it
and

it falls away ("of it's own accord"!!!)

"you" do not remove it
"you" do not fight
against it
to condemn it is
to strenthen it
to hold on to it
to give it breath
life
power
to make it real

in stillness
it
dis...appears...

seen as what "it" is
we grow up

stillness is whole
and from this wholeness
our love overflows to include all

the little girl
is comforted
by her Mother's Laughter
her dancing
her friendliness
with all those around her

she sees her future in Her
and there is nothing ever to fear


there is no fear shown to her,
no fear for her to see,
only this lifeful
loveliness
as deep as you can go
and stretching out
to every corner or the universe


even death holds no fear--
is seen in light
with vision
that sees no loss
has no doubt
no body identification
sees only Love
eternal
and gratitude
fullness
ever increasing...

She knows
the truth

is never taken in
for a moment
by this "scenario",
this "what if"

only a sparkle in
Her eyes
tells the truth
and nothing but
the truth

light
remains

knowing
despite the child's "suggestions"/make believe
of what is real...
her hypotheses
of.... "evil"
as an explanation
for what is going on...

what sparkle of light
could possibly
cherish
darkness
as her nature?

Joy...
the Nature of life/reality

how else could laughter be possible
at all?

chairflowers

where else
could
flowers
possibly
come from
but Joy?!

and chairs,
so of service
to our purpose...

"come together"
share
rest
each day
for awhile

relieve yourself
of
your desire
to stand
on your own two legs...

here
is joy
at last

clean

salvation
is
a flower

bright
and clean

with nothing but
flower
written upon it

so you,
Holy Son of God,
which includes
all there is to see

are
saved

with nothing but
Holy
Son
of
God
written
upon
you


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.
