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...

gifted

there is nothing you must do to become
what you are

the rose needs no education
to bloom

what lies do we teach?

what shoulds?

to this flower...

this brilliant sunbeam

who is lit within


in midsentence

in midsentence
he dropped his "r"

there was no more
flock of geese needed

no more time
needed

restitution
restituted

the daylilies
never had committed a crime

the innocent child
laughed to see such a sight

and the mind
did loose the moon

friend

you've been given a blank check,
a blank canvas,
how much is the world worth?

price it,
literally

how much would you have to pay
for all these trees,
mountains,
sky
airplanes
people
apples
lakes
rivers
grass
bears
music?

how much would you pay
for the gift of seeing!
hearing
tasting
smelling?

and you cry "not enough!"
what blindness is this!

not enough
not enough

you pay nothing!
everything is given freely.

how much gratitude?
for even one thing...

thank you, car...
thank you, bike....sidewalk...wind...
thank you, computer...
friend,
friend,
friend...

and I get to do what I do...
I get to facilitate,
to witness,
to sing,
to dance,
to play,
to just be,
to experience gratitude

grace,
everything
given



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.
