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...

mousy advertising

no new ideas!

crazy little mouse
running frantically around
screaming
scared for his life: the tiny mad idea/thought

is not new...

just like advertising:
having nothing to offer...no new content;
only the ancient mistake
it's only tactic is to do
everything to get and keep your attention,
to convince you of its false claims

to shock you

louder
faster...more and more commercials per hour,
catchy...so it sticks in your mind (uses great music to help you remember and associate it with something good...

deceptive advertising

"cheaper"
unbelievable prices!...you bet they are unbelievable!
the cost is the unawareness of your life
your happiness
everything you truly value hidden from you
in exchange for this tiny idol/substitute/belief/fantasy/complete alienation

colorful
and funny
with the same old message:

you are not enough
you will never be enough

try this
try this
try this!

NOW!
do not delay!

hurry
hurry
hurry!

do not stop !!!!
to pause
and ask yourself if
this is what you really want
or if these claims hold any truth...

be not still
do not contemplate
take no time
to ask

just GO!
NOW!
LEAVE!
whatever you are doing
whoever you are
whereever you are

RUN away
as fast as you can
to the nearest store/outlet

and GET
a new cover/outfit/distraction

cover up
the emptiness
again
and
again
and
again

do everything you can
NOT
to look inside

run away from Home
forever
be you bankrupt!

the announcer within and without
advises over and over and over

today
we would see
this mousy/lousy plan
for what it is

and
pause
but an instant

rest
be

you/we already are
Heaven (have everything)

ahhhh....

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.
