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...

artificial perception

artificial perception
names
division

are we animals
if we eat only plants...?
being now made up of only plant material...

and plants in turn
eat soil
and sunlight

are we not sunlight?
and soil?

heat and light
energy
constantly transferring...flowing
100,000 miles per second
the real world
and thought even faster...

do we really think we have any idea
what we are
what is going on
what we are thinking--

being
thought

the energy that comes to us
and through us
just light light and heat and air

and now we see
but it is but the projection
of sunlight from somewhere behind us,
an image of light shining out toward us

a symbol

of radiation
freely given us
freely supporting all that lives
nothing receives more
nor can "take" more sunlight/love
than any thing else

there is nothing you can ever do
to earn more of it
than you have right now

no debt possible

as within
so without

no debt possible
no black hole

only continuous radiation
of light
warmth
nourishment

the sun
is you

is there any situation
you can really concoct
where you don't have
enough power?




an empty lap

an empty lap
allows things
to come to you

literally
to fall
into it

sit still today
without your "treasures"

wait
for light
to fall
on you

without your "treasures"
it is

you
are it

clarity
transparency

i see through my ruse...
i don't really enjoy
the martyr story
the woe is me
oh nobody loves me
i have been slighted
let me show you your guilt
your wrong doing
that causes my suffering

what ancient lies!
the only cause of all the sorrow of the world...

I live fully now
as fully as I ever have
created of Joy
my lies have never changed the truth.

Thank you, Reality.

empty lap
clarity
Joy
Always

all perceived problems

all perceived problems

a door
that opens
to the night sky

to the stars beyond
the darkened bedroom
beyond thoughts of walls

see but
the infinite light
shining
bursting forth
but falling
across the sky

giving itself to you
for you

look not at the walls
you have built
have surrounded yourself with
have separated you from
all of Heaven

let but the breath of Song
gently blow in
through the cracks

hear now the song
of the falling stars
you cannot see yet

waken to their light
within you
and let them
but shine out
to all the others
for joy!

you
are
the star studed heaven
twinkling in the slumber

that all might gently waken
to the awe
that is



Daddy!

thoughts are things,
they are children

children cannot harm
their parents
no matter how loud
and fierce they act out

the parent knows
it is just
mistake
of ignorance

innocent
little child
calling for love
for your attention

hear me! it says
acknowledge this feeling i have right now!

i need you, Father
i know you are there for me
Love,
Stillness,
Security
Beauty

please please please
show me beauty again
I can't see it right now
and i want to more than i can say
i want to be happy

read me a story
with happy ending
tell me a joke
make me laugh again!
tickle me!!!!
i need your help...

re assure me,
Daddy!

no thought you ever have
no matter how desperate
or gleeful...

can ever hurt you
or change you in any way

be no longer confused
that the child can hurt you--
she calls only
for your tenderness
and understanding

you are the container,
not the thought

you
are far far far bigger

infinitely bigger
than this one thought

give her now
the Love
you love
to love


stillness

stillness remains
undisturbed
forever

stillness
can watch
catastrophic
cataclysmic
thoughts
imaginings

it sees them as they are--
just a concept
just a thing
a toy
a mind playing--
but never seriously
believing Its very Being
the Watcher
could ever lose His Peace
over it

could become
this idea

preposterous:
an idea
of the mind
could actually change
its creator--
become cause
of Its Cause

transparency
of water
of mind
is its
nature

a thought
a rock
a float toy
does nothing
to affect the nature of water

so angry thoughts
guilt
hurt
pain
have no reality/no existence
in the Nature of God
Love
Being

we see the toys
we toss around
we toss into our concept of God/Reality
we look at
instead of the clarity of truth


and we but remember
we are playing
its preposterous to think for a moment
anything we could ever do/think
could actually change
the nature of clarity

what we are

as
Clarity
created us

God is Network

i let the Network be

the Web
all parts connected to all parts
everything available to everything
( it is impossible "i"/any one point is ever more or less connected
than any other)
nor a "king"
a ruler
more important
more valuable
more influential
than any other point

democracy
justice
equality for all
every particle of light
every wave
every electron
every impulse

just signals
communication
flashing out

no difference
in what is behind it all

the pulse
of life

breathe
laugh
see now
look intentionally

God is in everything I see

it is truly impossible anything is separate from the whole
for even one instant

Love roars within us all
equally
with dominion
over any other image we conjured up....

full moon or crescent

only one is true

Love
is where all decisions
have already been made

all alternatives to Love
appearances
illusions
have been laid aside

delusions of
wanting separation

apparitions
of benefits
dangling before your eyes

tantalizing
mesmerizing
hyp no tized
potions
"importance"
here

all ways
all Hallow's eve
on the eve
on the brink
...of getting
more...
that one magic thing

the spell
to complete you

the brew that heals
the ancient wound

Come Home, Son,
it is already done

behold now the Living Christ:
you are Love

far beyond bones,
flesh, skeletons

Spirit is
undeniable

no black bat
can ever hide the moon,
forever full
though but a crescent
in sight

we know a circle
is forever round,

and laugh
at the child
who belives
but the slice...

whispered

tenderness does not evolve

tenderness came with me

remains
as me

shining as a star

tenderness created me
tender

perhaps creation was whispered
into existence

whispered into God's Holy Ear

and tears of joy, us,
rolled down Her Face

sparkling
clear
innocent

not a bang at all
not explosion

but opening heart

a wave of peace

like a smile
that shines from your face
and warms my heart
without any effort
at all

total gentleness
heals
simply
by being
what it is

a better mother

who would i be
without the thought
i should have been a better mother?

i'd have compassion for your pain,
for believing your thoughts,
your sleep,
your innocence

i'd see that's not who you truly are,
that it's not personal;
it's just a concept
being acted out

in stillness
i'd say
it is not so

peace
stillness
relaxed
breathe
see the joke underneath it all,
the impish grin

you're right...
how silly to be upset over this...
neither of us really want this

let's go play
outside in the sun
that's what we both want--
just to be happy

take my hand,
friends again
at last

Family
One Father
Love

the scolder
calling for love

scolding myself
not good enough
not good enough
not good enough
i tried to get rid of it on you

if only you would change
i would be happy/healed

mistake:
instead i said over and over and over to you
not good enough
not good enough
not good enough...
a thorn in my side,
sin...

i would give her a hug

oh dear precious one
lay down your sharp knives
slicing yourself to bits
for something that is not true

your worth is God's
your spirit undefiled
pristine
forever unharmable
unalterable

the radiant pearl
Love
Comfort
Home
Safety
Nurture
Security
Cradle
Rest

dear One
lay down the blade
your dream is madness
lay down
lay down
lay down

into my arms
let your tears fall

into my arms
let the ache fall

into my arms
let your weariness tell its story
hot air dispelled at last

oh dear One
it is not so

the blindness is cold now

just rest awhile
let the blabbering
the blubbering
subside

let the throbs
the tales
the heavy heavy chains
lay now on the ground

open your Eyes
see Me

oh dear One
see only Me now

i see You dear One

the tenderness
is undeniable

rest
dear One

You
are
Whole

silly

Jesus,
how can i see this dead body differently?

just because you look away
across the street

how silly is it to interpret this
as meaning
that i am not right here with you
still standing right beside you
always

unmoveable

though you look
everywhere else
but
straight at me


i am in you

seek not outside you
for you will not find me there


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.
