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...

fantagraphy

are you afraid of a photo?
or
is it a photo
you love?

do you believe/mistake
a photo for reality?

do you see this is what is causing
all your suffering?

we imagine something
could be different than it is...
a fantasy

a picture on a piece of paper
in your mind

oh woe
the fantasy is just that

it doesn't exist
the imaginary is not real

no one knows about your fantasy
the way things should be
the words you image they speak

Reality is given you now
undestructable

no fantasy will ever be reality

Love what is
and you are sane
and safe
and so grateful

Happiness is not a fantasy

It is here
now

the best things in life

ego says: do something!
you should do more
do anything
just do something
you need to earn your keep
you need to do something to deserve to be here

Holy Spirit sings clear as a bell
the best things in life are free!

yeah! yeah!
that is really true

and
money DOES grow on trees
apples
pears
peaches
cashews
oranges
lemons
grapefruit
cherries
wood...
how easily are the silly stories we have believed and suffered for
seen as simply ridiculous

whoever taught us was clearly confused (another name for guilt)

all wealth is freely flowing within us
all the time

free:
laughter
seeing
gratitude

the ability to question every belief
every thought we have ever had

stillness
meditation
contemplation
revelation
miracles
guidance
truth
wisdom
the POWER of our mind
imagination
humility
attitude

love
joy
radiance
humor
beauty

listening
is so free
and endlessly valuable

all healing is free

whatever you think costs you anything
whatever you think you have to pay for

is the voice of loss and sacrifice speaking
it is not true

Joy grows
inside of you

we don't have to earn anything:
taste
touch
sight
feelings
free communication

sanity is free
clarity
what when where who is given

so grateful

all happiness is
accepting
what is freely already ours

the best things in life
are free

life

where would you start?

where would you start...
your day?

look around your life/room

ask....

would i step into...

the midst of loveliness
as far as i can see

or

would i
be planted on the leaf of envy,
comparison,
not good enough...

a bug's eye view

looking up
and feeling small

looking down
and feeling tall (er)

looking down
on all "those" littler bugs

on my high horse
in this little bug's mind

always struggling
how can i make this tiny existence
be grand and great

how can i magnify/distort
my "self"
to make it
a castle...
worth something?

oh, the insanity...

where
would you start
this moment?

Heaven, above the crisis
or
hell, below
the view
of Eternity/Infinity?

Infinity
or
bug?

what would you call Home?

infinite mind
or
your house
made of dirt?

Loveliness wants you...now!
the Most Beautiful Song is loving you
now

feel
feel
feel
the loveliness...



loveliness

Loveliness
created me
lovely

loveliness
is my Father (of me)
is Mother (of me...)
sister
brother
child
cousin
aunt
uncle
employer
student
teacher
the grocery clerk
shipper
officer
politician
the bird on this
soil

loveliness

the notes
of this Song

the Heart

Loveliness sings
be cause
that's what she is

she is
the Song
the Origin
the beginning
the middle
and the end

of all that is

we hum
be cause
we are
Happiness Itself

not bodies

Happiness motors us
grows us
awakens us

Happiness
the One Power

Life

so happy
so grateful

for this Big
Happy
Perspective

the Center
extending outward
forever

Self
educating
giving
communicating
connecting always

Communion with all that is,
Joy

how lovely

gratitude

gratitude
longs to give itself to you

gratitude
flows
over all wounds

and gives thanks
for any thought of lack
of attack
of pain

that it is seen at last
unveiled
re owned
not tacked on to someone else's wall

gratitude
sees the benefit
of truth

of uncovering
the mistake

grateful for the pain
that alerted us
to the upside down view
the nonsensical message

that said Love is sacrifice/loss/murder
and fear
is safety

at last
we have nothing but
gratitude
to see our insanity
and see
that it has had no effect
on Love
God
Reality
Stillness

we remain forever grateful
as we were created...
prior to our first belief/lie

gratitude flows
over all wounds

soothes the broken skin
relieves the fight
gives wholeness back
to "the enemy"

"the lion
shall lie down
with the lamb"

gratitude


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.
