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...

gullible

gullible

i let Love be
let arrows come
and hit
softness

and fall
limply
to the ground

gullible
open to all mouths
thoughts
ways
as harmless
as joyful
as possible
as helpful

the fool
not knowing anything at all
i open
to see
what is
without understanding
without background
without study
without a future
without reason
and profit
and kickback
and ego boosting
morale

without image monitoring
am i free

light
as a feather

manueverable

ever toward
happiness

though all sense
would teach it is folly

this heavy scroll
is tossed to the wind

ancient commandments
sink slowly
to the bottom of the sea

the ink
dissolving
transparently clouding the water briefly
before clarity returns again
and all evidence
of past prison bars
is vacant

where once the heavy iron
strangled
my lightheartedness

gull ible

free
to fly
home
to myself
and you
and
joy

innocence
prances
again
in mind
and on earth...

roots do bloom

roots do bloom
but not without the root

how far fetched an idea
a thought like that is

funny, yes

look at me!!!
look at me!!!
way up here
i did it!
all by myself!

isn't that the supreme cry
of a child?

the adult knows better

the adult
has everyone to thank--
so many they can not be counted
or individually named

for without any one person
in her life
she would not exist

how did she even get here?
can she claim credit for this
miraculous momentous occasion

let's start here,
and so she sees
she has nothing
to claim credit for at all...

only gratitude for being
and all that surrounds her--
that abounds and supports her
in uncountable ways...

have you thanked
King Soopers lately?

without food on your table
what else would get done...?

or Conoco?
without your car
what would get done...?

or Xcel?
without your lights,
computer, stove
and refrigerator...

let's give credit
where credit is due

there is no one person
to thank

how scrimpy
and scarce a view of gratitude

today
let's recognize
the Interconnectedness of the Whole

we are all One Thing Together
and
nothing at all
alone

i have never done anything
all
by
myself!

Reality.

Roots
do
bloom,

but never
without
the roots...

forgiving Reality

today i would forgive Reality
and let Joy
be known again

silence
where once my story held sway

without guilt
the better way is clear
the opening
is held up
held out
glowing
for you

everywhere
the green of grass
the blue of sky
without any guilt
shines
toward you
fills you up
rushes in to meet you

the freshness is yours
the open blueness
the space
extending out so freely
and flexible
forever

swooping, gliding, floating
transported
the swirling skirt
arcing from pleat to pleat

then softening
into nothing at all

perhaps a whisper
perhaps a breath
perhaps a wing
or the buzzing of many tiny vibrations

happiness
flying shooting blessing every possible
pathway
of thought

Reality

eyebrows

have you noticed
the way a man sometimes
raises his eyebrows...

one side higher than the other...

without a thought of it?

it just happens

did you see it?

reality going on all the time
and we miss it

because we're off in some story
some future event
the next errand on the list
the word our husband said last night
the bill in the middle of our head
blocking
the miracle
right here
right now

today

breathe

slow down

stay in one place just a few moments longer

see the way he tilts his head

and you didn't even ask...

beauty

everywhere


going on

without
your "control"

notice

value

"i can heal you
because i know you.

i know your value
for you,
and it is this value
that makes you whole. "(p186t)

what is the value of Love

God
perfect peace
a tranquil mind
the end of war
constant Joy
Life?

can you really prefer/believe
something else
instead?

an imaginary future

instead of valuing
what is
right now?

without a future
the only door
to Joy
is
now

open open open open
to
what you are

greater than all of time
all the stars, galaxies, moon and sun
all the oceans
all imagination
all dreams

is Reality

Love
the greatest Mystery of All

let's face it

turn inward
where infinity
expands
forever

all
value
within
you

looking...

do you see
that everyone
just wants your attention
your love
your ear
your heart?

do you see
when you even look
at a cat
she purrs?

the particle
is moved
by the observer

we move ourselves
when we but
notice

when we but look
within

and
oh

the dear One

tender eyes
(tender-izes...:-)

Everything...


before you arrive

the path is lit

before you arrive,
You
are there

before you arrive
at any conclusion

the Answer is already known

only Love
exists

before we talk,
we are One

before we conclude,
agreement is certain

before the handshake,
the hug

before the hug,
the heart beats
simultaneously

no difference ever
heard
between your heart
and mine

one gift
over and over and over and over
forever

Song
of Joy!
living
now
as
you

even
before you arrive!


God's Face

under every footstep
light shines upward

there is no step
you can take
where kindness
won't hold you

before you place your foot upon it
already it supports
your lightness

already it sees you
and rejoices
at your coming
this way

taking this very step
on God's Face

gently would we step

gently would we speak

gently would judgement
fall away
from our heart

if only we remember
God
is
in
everything
we
see

touching us
in every moment

we are
Light

from
with in


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.
