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...

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

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.
