behold his single eyelash,
eyelid,
so tender
look
in his eyes
what spirits him?
lives him?
lifes him?
now
not at his "body birth,"
but in this moment,
what incarnates him,
moves his lips,
drives his life?
behold
his single eyelash,
the glory
the splendor
the miraculous curve
waving
catching
shading
beauty
simplicity
unquestioning service
can you really find sin
here?
where in this miraculous being
can you find
anything
that is not love?
even his toenails
are spectacular,
tortoise shells,
so steadfast
so kind
doesn't the call move him, too
in every detail?
the call
to realize
the lie,
the dream,
isn't
to wake up,
to see only Love,
feel
bursting Heart!
welcome home to family, friends,
re-union of Self
lost puppy forgotten
tell him he is safe!
no words necessary
you know
you walk together
tell every person you meet or think about today,
you are safe,
grounded,
in Spirit
Your Identity, beyond question
or perhaps you think
the sin
is in his thoughts
travel inward now
in to his "brain",
where in this moment
does the "sin"
reside?
he's a member of the republican party, you say...
(laughing!)
hmmm
so obtuse...
he loves ideas!
he's a lover of certain ideas!
is that the crime?
he's just like you!
what is the idea you love
that would make him
your enemy?
behold
his eyelid now,
so very very tender...
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...

fusion
"all illusions are threatened by truth" (acim t508)
from getting
to having--
wholeness
being
sharing
am-ing
holding the space
no lack
no demands=fusion
fused: powered, empowered
confusion=making demands of another
to demand of you,
i must make a "you",
who has more
than "i",
different
without demanding you have something i don't
we are fused
to ask for nothing from you
we are equal
together
in the asking
we ask together of our One Self
knowing it is there
by our asking we affirm
the Answer is
we simply state we are ready,
willing
to listen
asking is not demanding,
asking is invitation,
my door is open
isn't it quite funny
I assign to everyone else in the world
"they hold more",
something I want,
my joy
do you see the extra lump in the sleeve of their sweater? :-)))
and here,
my safety lies?!@
how futile a plan!
how is it even possible...
how much obfuscation we must manufacture
to not see
the absolute
nonsense of this plan
the clarity of the nonsense
is plain
there is no sanity
to be found here,
seek no more to study it
and come up with an answer
nonsense only produces nonsense
how very very simple the return of sense--
All life
All love
is me
i am the holder of all possible joy
the only place
without a demand on anyone
i am wholeness
the entire universe
infinite intelligence
wisdom
joy
freedom
abounding
no enemy anywhere
deprivation and insanity are one
without demands,
my brothers are but fountains,
ever flowing fountains
of surprise
delight
adventure!

unfenced
the man without any words
drew a picture
shapes
leaning this way
wordless
feelings
unspeakable
unable to describe the infinite
the invisible
starting here
She threw a word up into the sky
and someone one found it
the next day
laying on the ground
it became "a duck"
carried with her
in her favorite pocket
to pull out
and point to
with anyone she met
this,
she pointed to the card,
is what i am
and her eyes
now glued to the card
could not shift back
to enter
her very own kingdom
wordless splendor
endless hallways
bottomless living rooms
alive
born now
no name
no fence yet
corraling the Unknowable Mystery

indivisible
invisible
indivisible
no clanking
saws
to mutilate
mutate
the unformed
prior to saw
like rock paper scissors
no weapon of any kind
Love
is not a pistol that can hurt,
nor could it shoot at one
except to pierce open the heart with love
smiles rise on hilltops
roosters not ever the first to crow
no one first
no one last
no one future
just one simultaneous smooch with Itself
invisible between the seeming visible
breath
inner to outer
outer to inner
no place where it stops
no river crossing border
one continuous epiphany,
indivisible,
every word, label,
a lie
oh to be whole,
feel the wood on your chest
isn't it so sweet
this kiss
this wink
the gentlest almost imperceptible twittering of "a leaf"
Heart!

all points
"i", mouse, did not create my Self/Joy
Radiance
Eternal
and "i" cannot uncreate it
all "i" can do is tell a lie about it,
that it doesn't exist,
and that hurts
pain is kind
to correct,
to notify
me of such an error
Lady Grace
Elegant
Divine
Beauty
Kind
Generous
welcoming to all,
All encompassing
Infinite
Joy is the Father of all that is,
there's nothing you can do to change that--
to change who your Father is,
and so your nature
no loss is possible in Joy
inconceivable
that Joy=loss
She so easily spreads her wings,
can light from bridge to rooftop to treetop, steeple
high in the sky
grazing the surface of the sea
swooping up
in circles
playfully
carried on the breeze
all directions equal
available
open
all points home--that's it, friend
do you want to know the secret of eternal Joy?
all points, Home
She never leaves What She Is,
it's not possible
Joy
Birthplace
Birthright
All Points
paint by number,
every color
every nuance: Joy

something's happening?
something's happening.
is it true?
electrical excursions
seem to sway and gyrate
perpetual motion...
it is true?
"movement"?
i "call" it...
from the past,
someone told me...
called "it" that.
was that "it"?
movement
calls for space
is there space in the mind?
what's three inches to the left of that thought?
isn't that a joke?
a thought takes up space?
how much does it weigh?
really...
where's the scale to place it on?
how do you ever place the thought
on the scale?
imaginacio!
does the reflection in the mirror
weigh as much as "you"?
or are you fooling yourself
all the time?
pretending
you have any weight at all...
this image,
this set of beliefs...?
prior to believing it to be a "tree"(a body)
were you lighter?
a scoop of this,
a dash of that,
is there any reality at all to "your thought"?
like you even think there's a "you" who owns
and came up with them--
then how come everyone else
has the identical thoughts?
maybe,
just maybe they all came from the same bank, Source,
or maybe it's all just a bunch of mirrors
are there 250 yous
if you look into 250 mirrors?
proof you exist x's 250!
joking!
a war of thougths?!@
do you see the joke?
this no thing attacking this no thing= no thing happening
ashes, ashes, we all fall down
stillness
remains

Heaven
"who can attack his savior
and cut him down,
yet recognize his strong support?" (p502 acim)
I forgive me, Love,
for I have been mistaken
and knew not what I did.
"how can he live
with all your sins upon him?" (p501 acim)
resurrect Him now,
let him breathe,
walk,
laugh!
see the sparkle in his eyes
he owes you nothing,
but is only God
to behold
Behold
your brother
without one demand
upon him
and see
Heaven
has always been
right here

nothing
just landed
here
on earth
on the sofa
no idea what why how
i'm here
all books
transparent pages
past is gone
concepts dead
what now?
ask now?
seeing through every object--transparent
transparent
transparent
where can the answer lie
lie
lie?
perhaps "nothing"
is the answer
you've been seeking
always seeking for something--
you couldn't see
the no thing
ever
surrounding you,
Space
i missed it,
being everywhere
and couldn't be
more obvious!
seeking something--having already decided...conceptualized
i couldn't see
the answer was not to "get" anything--
but only to let go
what i was holding on to...
everything...
i was holding
on
to.
no thing
left,
open land
the Frontier,
Space
where all you can do is fall--
forever
fall
in Love
no control
no knowing
just falling forever
in
love
wonder what that would be like?
brand new
territory
thank you re turns now
here
on earth
on the sofa
no idea what why how
i'm here

flood of Love
right in this moment
without the thought
there's anything wrong
the gushing of God
the flood
cannot be stopped
no damn can hold back
the Power
the Force
the Flow
LOVE!
no spot of dry ground
no spot untouched by the floodwaters
no holdouts
all arguments drowned out,
the illusion of control
seen for what it is--
ridiculous
c'mon little stick, really?
you are water
you are Love
you are not something separate
no blockage possible in reality
Nature is Love
no nail
can hold Love
to the cross,
though she doesn't mind--
she doesn't object...
Her Place is everyWhere
Shoot Me!
if that is what you need
to wake up
i understand
and
i cannot be
harmed
the flood of Love closes in in in
every hole filled in
and overflowing
only this is true
without the thought
there's anything wrong
the gushing of God
the flood
cannot be stopped
no damn can hold back
the Power
the Force
the Flow
LOVE!
no spot of dry ground

About Me
- Joy Schultz
- 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.
