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...

empty

how very light she felt

when she put down her idol,
her man pot of tea,
she dreamt all her life,
she needed
to partake of
to be filled
to be healthy
to keep her running

oh how heavy all that water is
to carry upon her head
each step of her life

and the copper kettle, too,
ties wings to the ground
and tangles in branches

when space would be
itself

infinite

and fly everywhere at once
being never separate
nor bounded
in any way

yes, how very very wide
she felt her wings to go now
reaching out forever
beyond
her ancient horizon
earth
gravity
decay
and binding this attachment

something
on top of 
the whole

can you really run faster,
leap farther and easier,
glide more effortlessly 
while you tie yourself
to another body?

is it really your wish to carry a corpse,
drag another, 
through your crap?

yes, how very very light
it feels
to let my brother walk freely
on his own two feet

and eye
see him now
waving happily back to me

One Heart
soars

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.
