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...

restitution

restitution
to the unborn baby

who prior to birth
was promised to slavery

owing
just for being--
stealing from the mother
her very blood

this vampirous growth
expecting to be carried around
and fed
and bathed

where does she get off
thinking the world owes her?

restitution
now

for this twisting of baby's hair,
this clamping into chains
the delicate golden petals,
so tender
it brings tears,
so gentle
so beautiful
this lacy song

what's the use of it
if it can't put a meal on the table?

oh the destitution 
of this harsh mother,

the world's a dangerous place,
you better learn it now, kid

no  one is going to look out for you,
you better get that into that thick head of yours

oh,

restitution

now...

your grace
your humble presence
your clarity
your joy
all the gift
the world could ever desire

blessed
so very very blessed
by your presence

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.
