The Gift of not being present
"I see only the past."
Images...
'til they be smoothed over
this is a re view
mind will keep ringing your bell
as long as any thing remains
un re solved
it cannot,
will not
rest
resist not
the painful show,
feelings
it's coming to you
for your
baptism,
cleansing water
no thing
harmful
devious
evil
lacking
bad
ever occurred
not once
no evil people
in your life,
any where,
at any time,
in the world
you have never been a victim
gmo's are not the problem
military industrial complex
patriarchy
greedy politicians
pedophiles,
are not the problem
i am not a victim of the world i see
no thing but my own thinking
has ever upset me
now it's time to look
again
without your thinking
amazing grace
without this thinking machine
this greedy politician
this child abuser
perfect stillness
your generosity is quite apparent!
your open-mindedness
your devotion
he's not supposed to be a ballerina, dear,
he's a truck driver
and when a painful image comes
there's nothing to do but thank it
what better game in town is there
than to free yourself
from self deception?
Look, Jane, look!
allow the twister to enter,
the house with the roof torn off,
the ravaged mind,
the lifeless,
the goner,
the bewitched,
the user,
they are looking for your lap--
a home
an inn
a welcome (mat)
an invite
honor these castaways
they have long been walking the world
and are so weary
just waiting for your ancient judgment
to be repealed
let the teenager enter
without a test of her virginity
she has long paid the price
for a sin that wasn't
she
is
but your personal
ordained minister,
here
for your redemption
and the only part of you
that has been missing all these years!
the only deprivation you
have ever experienced
Love
wants to enter
now
Right Now
the past is begging
to be redeemed
by you
that your Joy
and the world
are one
the gift of not being present
is
to include the entire truth of
the past
not just your microscopic point of view
Look
again
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...

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.
