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...

give up

the only way
to make headway
is
to rest

just give up
100%
all "your" ideas
script
opinions
true or false
good or bad

totally give up

in every moment

"you" do not know

give up "knowing"

the past has not taught 
you one thing you would retain

"it" does it,
reaches over for a coffee cup,
tied to a mechanical chain,
like a bike going round,
conveyor belt moving cans,

thought moves hand,
so quickly it seems
movement happens before thought,
confusing mind
that body is cause
and thought effect,
backwards

something watches it

fish swimming in the mind
so fast
so quickly turn
dart
here, gone

still

definitely swimming in schools!

"i need chapstick"
"i paint fish"
"i teach art"
"i read the Course"
"i write poetry"...
oh my oh my....

sparkling jewels
these flashy colorful fish
attract attention

glide in silently
effortlessly
unnoticed

ocean
ocean
of Mind

it isn't that the ocean world
is ever going to dry up
and go away
and leave the fish for dead

without "my" knowing
every single fish
is free
to swim
in every inch of ocean
without fear

no thought
can ever be perceived as
dangerous
without "my" knowing

only gratitude,
amazing beauty,
herein
 lies the peace
of God

behold he looked on everything
and it was very, very good

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.
