it just arose and arose and arose
like a scarf being pulled out of a magician's hat
until she fell
silent
and in the silence
faded away
then the Madame knocked
again on the door,
the big hair,
the big smile,
the painted lips,
the bold glow,
in her red blazer
there was nothing to fear about her
now
she was an ambassador,
she brought all the foreign parts
to the fore,
no need to go traveling
to meet the strangest,
the estranged,
parts of yourself.
just sit
and listen
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...

bowstring
like the bowstring
stretching, stretching, stretching,
there is no strain
what use a bowstring
unstrung,
lying limp in a pile?
we are meant to stretch
out
longer,
that when the love
propelled great distances
lands in foreign soil
it is no mistake;
it is a great kiss,
hello, sweetheart,
I am yours

Kindness
Kindness
is an ocean.
She is not
in short supply.
There are no strings attached
to kindness.
No, not strings attached,
but joining, embracing, supporting...
loving care,
no separation,
nature
Kindness is an ocean.
No loss
ever.

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.
