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...

sharing!

one Voice
one loving word
spoken silently
or out loud

reminds us
of the Ocean

from our tiny port
the Universe is laid
back in our hearts

boundaries
edges
foreign tongues
distant horizons
all melt

my ocean/identity
is the same as your ocean

my fish/thoughts
are the same
as your thoughts

my sand
and coral
20,000 leagues under
is
our common ground

no starfish has ever been born
to be possessed by an individual

her life is given to/for
all of us

a single tiger
belongs to all the world
to every baby born

so your heartjoylove
was given you
to share with
everyone on earth

thank you
for the ocean of love
you but channel

thank you
for the open valve,
your mind

thank you
for the joy
that naturally lives
as you

nothing
is here
for me alone

ocean

there is an ocean
under you

behind you

LOVE
farther than the eye can see

waves
of Love

surprising crashes of loveliness
splashes

fresh
salty
Source

we all share this nature
of ocean

evolved from the sea
water
flow
waves
within the one mind

can you feel it?
living
in you
coming through
you
out into the world

we are carried
in our little boats
up and down
backward and forward
upside down and right side up

the Ocean
of Love
upholds us

we have no choice
but to let it take us

It knows the way

enjoy
today
the swells

the dance

the trans port ation
around the countryside

around the inside
of
our
mind...

0 c e a n

relax
now

we
are
carried...

sanity

He who holds grievances
denies his Creator(L68)

the very nature of God
His Laughter
His Joy
His Children
He adores

if God is well pleased
why aren't you? :-)

is this not arrogance
to condemn
Christ (in you)
as imperfect
as not
enough?

who could take such talk/thoughts
seriously?

Perfect Joy
Purity
Peace
Fullness and overflowing
eternally...
is
not
good enough???

it is funny

who but a madman
would insist Christ is death/lack
and that he alone is saviour of himself,
believing his"happiness/safety"
lies in keeping
his miserable thoughts
and "death" that only he
could call life...

Radiance of God
forever that i am
and all that is

bring me Home

bring me now
to my senses

that no man on earth
be seen through the eyes of hate/fear

and only the Love that sets us all free
as one
be remembered
as the lens
through which we view
ourselves
and every single situation
we are given

radiance

radiance
is my Guide

God's Will for me is
perfect
radiance
brilliance
Joy
Christ
clarity
sparkling light

no interference
no obstruction
nothing else at all
nothing at all physical

here is light immeasurable
incomparable
because
there is no comparison
nothing at all to compare with
nothing to measure against!

the end of measuring,
counting

theorizing
this
and that


FACT.


Love

on and on and on and on and on....

see only Fact
today

let no myth
separate you
from the Pure Joy
you are

mercy

have mercy upon yourself today
and let
the innocent child in you
be

here is Life

let her play
let her delight
in all that surrounds her

let her innocence
unite her
with everyone around,
befriend
everyone she sees

seeing no enemies
no strangers

only her own innocence
in everything

Love
Family
Resurrection
Now

Peace

Wings
of Mercy

wouldn't you rather fly
today?

Innocence carries us
easily
and gracefully
everywhere
we
are

mercy...
for
everyone....

joy
at
last

Fatherhood

through the veil
my Home lives

i allow Fatherhood
to have
His Children

all other thoughts
vanish
here

have me
i am Yours
consume me
i would be given over
completely
to Love's Purpose

to come through me
to radiate
through me

i step back
and let the message
of Fatherhood be/shine

Father is--
no more doubt,
wondering,
planning
for outcome,
for how-to
of a
happy ending...

i lay down all books,
thoughts,
procedures,
manuals
now

and
simply
LET
the Father be
now
in mind
as He is



light:

thank you
for
Fatherhood


Home

I am at Home. Fear is the stranger here. (L160)

Love
deep within our mind
watches over everything

gentleness
defenselessness

"come home"
closer than our ear
right now
always

peace
is
You

nowhere else is there
You can go
and still be You

You,
of God,

what
less than God
could you be

and still be
what God created?

your nature
remains your nature
eternally

Spirit can never be a body
but it can
shine
through it,
can
be reflected
by it

the only power that ever moves
your body
is Love

there is no thought that is yours
alone

because there is no mind
that is yours
alone

forever one
with all
there is

holograms

love love love

everywhere
we
look....

tantrums

the most luscious thing in the world
is the mind
that realizes
it sees but itself
everywhere it looks

here is peace at last

no enemy
no power
outside you

no separate will
no victim

sanity possible
with Christ

Christ has no problem
with a child

no matter how childish
silly
playful...
Christ does not fear
a child's tantrums

Christ is forever undisturbable

a cranky child calls for a rest
or a snack
or a story

but no matter
what the form,
it is really
only Love
the Christ offers:

i see you
through my eyes:
completely innocent

crankiness has no effect
on reality
it is not a crime
(and always temporary....)

of course Peace is real

crankiness is not a threat to peace

oh dear child
no matter how loud you scream
nor how long

it is but laughter
that meets this thought
that it could ever convince
me of its truth(lack)

i hold you
on my knee
with all the Love in the Universe
and simply watch
you melt
into nothing
as, of course,
you realize
you love Me

Joy is...

mistakes
simply dissolve
in the presence
of truth

not more, but less

it is not more i need,
but less

this is the undoing
the questioning
of the loaded beliefs we hold
of rightness
and wrongness

of "i" and "you"
as separate

it is hallucinations
that but blind me to what is,
to all happiness

today i would reach for no idols
to fill an empty space

i would instead
question this belief

nothing can ever quench the
empty feeling
this belief in lack
will forever produce

it is the belief itself
i see
that causes all pain

today i would be empty handed
right about nothing
wholly open
to embrace
all
that is

thank you for your stillness

thank you for your stillness, brother
for your patience
for your steadfastness
while i straighten out my thinking

thank you for not ripping it ("me") to shreds
for surely i would have retreated
and fortified its threads
so justified and necessary
for this cold world

thank you for the shining light
that glows through the veil
through the fog
even on the wettest days

thank you for the humbleness
that holds not one claw ready
to prick my story

just the completely quiet
silence
the open space

the stillness of the night
the brilliance of the stars
shooting
falling
crumbling away over and over and over again
showers of light
all the while

the veil is slowly unsewn

joy of stars
never disrupted for a moment
in the dance
of creation
leaps
and bounds
and tiny increments

always
in humble recognition

wholly without opposition
rising
and falling
always resting
resting
resting

in perfect stillness,
defenselessness

the veil
falls

the stillness calls
everything
to silence




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.
