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...

basking

basking 
in 
defenselessness

all arms laid down
so so so light
so free
so available
open
to All That Is
in Love,
Joy

thank you, God!

we have been saved from our thought!

thank you, God!!!

we think lightly

our thought/mind
is enlightened

purified

undone

cleaned out and cleaned up

the past/history/story is given away

the mistake of guilt is washed away
by grace

we cooperate
we invite
because
we love a clean and shiny mind and heart

where everything is easily seen,
not kept from our sight by a greasy film of guilt

each moment we thank God today
erases a bit more of the error

we let our mind be used
to correct our mistakes
and it is done
according to God's Will

God's Will for us is perfect Purity--only God

and we are so blessed this is true

there is nothing to do
but give thanks 
all day long.....

thank you thank you thank you,God
 for saving me from my thought

love,
Joy

playtime

hey kids!

did you forget it's playtime?


yes, all the world IS  a stage...

 the attitude/perception of play
 cuts the reins of illusions

"take nothing seriously":-))))))

today 
do you choose 

drama  or comedy?

would you play the bloodsucking Dracula,
sucking all the life out of yourself....

or Jesus Christ, comedian--seeing all illusions 
as  a joke.....


Jesus or Dracula?

This is your only choice today!!!!!!!!!

WHAT do you WANT??
WHO are YOU?   really......

love you :-))))

nearsighted




with our eye one inch away from the wall of the Grand Canyon


we are completely blind


to the spectacular view


and beauty


that exists


everywhere we are not looking





so with God,




to see anything


as a tiny single form


and leave out all the rest of creation



is to run away


from our own Happiness

Formlessness

it is not form we seek
it is formlessness


we would transcend form
there is nothing form holds

we thirst for what is behind it 
underneath it
what does it mean?
what purpose does it serve?


why in the hell are we here and what are we doing?

it can not be simply to build up and tear down matter
there is no meaning in this

abstraction goes beyond form
feelings are abstract
feelings are eternal
feelings are infinite
feelings bounce  and shout and shine and transcend every cell and centimeter 


there is no distance that is too great for love to encompass

and what is love?

we have no words even 
to start
because it is something so big
so powerful
so beyond our fragmented perception


it must be Wholeness
so beyond
so beyond 
so way far beyond
any form we can imagine



we would 
go there


we would leave
the idea of this world/form
in our mind

and go instead
to a place of abstraction--
limitless
undefined
totally open 
to richness 
and depth
and vibrancy

something so 
different
so unworldly

that form never 
enters our mind

and in this formlessness
there are no boundaries

only
something
so gracious



the light has come







it is never form we seek

only formlessness can offer 
something totally different.


to exchange one form for another is no change at all....

happiness has no relationship to any form

we step back from form
 we let our grasp on it go
and open up to All that Is


I thank Formlessness Himself for this release

love,
Joy

impossible

demand not the impossible!!!!!!!

no one can give you

what you refuse to accept


you  have shut the door

you  have pulled the shades

you  sit in the darkened room

locking out the sunlight



no one can break in

when you have made this decision

your decision is all powerful

no one can break in to your mind
no one can ever do anything  against your will

you will experience infinite Love
Peace and Happiness
only when you change YOUR mind,
 BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE and WANT it

today we let go of the old belief that it is not (possible).....
love, 
Joy

invulnerability

our function

is invulnerability

no matter what


we shine


no  matter what

no matter what


no matter what

we are lit from within

by a Power we did not create

and wholly powerless to change it 

in any way.

God is.

Here is our invulnerability

Here is all safety

all changelessness

all the nurturing and comfort

you could ever possibly desire.


we shine from this completely supported position

we shine and shine and shine and shine

there is no idea

that can ever have an effect

on the brilliant luminosity of Joy

today we embrace Joy
and give all thanks 
for such Godness.

love,
Joy

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.
