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...

face

what would i be
without the thought
"i need a body"?

holiness
simply rests

in the mind

knowing rests

it has seen to the end and back

it just is

like daybreak
no chance (even in hell)
you can stop it

nor the earth from spinning
nor the beautiful sparkle in your eyes

isn't it amazing
you came with a face?!

what a landscape!

have you ever really taken a trip there,
explored
every cranny
every mode of expression?

the ride of an eyebrow?
so many subtleties,
endless combinations
with jaw
and flushing of cheeks

oh my my my

what else in the world can do such things?!

ok,
yes,
another door flies open!

for surely a carpet,
too,
has so many lights
in which to be seen

the key
is getting really
 really close

of course you  must
get down on your knees
or belly,
even better,

to see
the intricasies,
the wonders,
of creation
in a rug

right under your nose!
and you've never even
noticed
the twill
the twirl
the tworling
strands of color
interweavings,
no separate function
of even the tiniest of thread

all for the whole

every eyelash
every freckle
every pimple

"skinning my knees on God" (Hafiz)

my face
touching
the face of the Invisible

transparent mask

the heat within
unmasked
at last

fiery cheeks
glowing embers
of the Divine

amazing face
amazing grace

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.
