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...

care free

"if i cared,
i couldn't be the intimacy that i am.

a caring 
would take me away
 from the real...." (byron katie)


care about nothing
be pulled off center
away from home/peace
for nothing

simply be love


care about nothing
and see all the beauty 
that is now
everywhere

"to exclude anything
that appears in your universe
is not love...
it doesn't exclude the monsters
it doesn't avoid the nightmare--
it looks forward to it,
because like it or not,
it may happen,
 if only in your mind."  bk

we LOVE the monster
because we KNOW
that behind it
is God

we would not runaway
but joyfully see
it is but a mask
and now is the great release from
all the ancient pain
we have been longing for forever


we love everything
because we are everything

every one of us is an exquisite
flower, friend and lover of all that is

OPEN is our mantra of joy


love,
Joy

resurface

you'll always resurface

you can't

change/lose

who You are



it might get denied
submerged
pushed down deep
and ignored

you might think
that You/God
don't exist

and only crap does

but in the end

only You are 
always there

the truth of Who you are
unchangeable

thrilled to be
shining
glorious
amazing
Spirit
is

and there's nothing you can do about it

love,
Joy

Home

Reality is my Home

today i would let all other ideas of Home fly away

there is only truth

there is only light

there is only peace



only here

do i live




imagination is not reality


delusion
illusion
hallucination
fantasy

are all invitations to think
that Home is outside myself

to think that Home and peace are not the same


i let the clutter
fall away

til only Truth remains

love,
Joy

yes!

there is something so much bigger!!!!!!!

whatever you hold sacred in this life

whatever you see
however you see it

whatever is the thing in front of your face
that glows

or is rotten

that has been stuck to you forever

whatever rosy story
you have been imagining
will bring you joy


there is something soooooooooooooooooooooo
much bigger


we look thru the tiniest of lenses

thru a miniscule frame

of a paradigm




oh oh oh oh oh

today

we but rejoice to know

that something so much bigger than this crumb of

our understanding 


IS



far far far beyond



of course there appear to be  mysteries from this tiny corner

of course
we must have faith
of course
we must let go of the darkness

be you free

so something soooooooooooooooooooooo
 much bigger

can be your experience


NOW
love, Joy

24/7

Angels never stop singing!!!!! 
(i must be one.....:-)))))


day or night

night or day

we close our eyes and ears 

to the world

and the song

is joyously playing



Heaven is always open

24 hours a day


anytime of the day or night

you can get up

and walk in

the light is ON

forever and ever and ever

the waitress is there to welcome you

the coffee is fresh

the company  is laughing and joking around

and it's ALL ON THE HOUSE!


the neon light glows
forever in our minds

God is Love


love you,
Joy

lighthearted

we are the lightness
 the fresh air
the space


we are the 
 the lightheartedness

of the world


we  journey 
lightheartedly


what is light
but a twinkle in your eye
that comes from knowing

by experience
the truth?


our heart is lit
from within


now are we lighthearted
and lighthoused:

we are the safety of the world


our Heart
the Center
from which all nourishment goes out

is lit with humor
sending funny
and true 
perspectives

to all those serious thoughts
sitting in the corner
exhausted
too tired to move
moping in their rightness about reality

to all those bumper stickers that say
shit happens

we laugh
and say
thank God!


everywhere we look 
is the Holy Humorer

our only part
is to choose
laughter 
instead of 
tears.

i love A Course in Miracles!!!!
Joy

hold on to nothing

we are loving what is
or we are asleep


awakeness is gratitude
sleep is sorrow



awake is not knowing
asleep we think we know


not knowing is opening
to the Infinite--to what is


beyond what we think we know

beyond what we can possibly imagine

 way beyond what we can possibly conceive




not knowing is the dissolving of the small mind



not knowing is the key to happiness


it unlocks the door/your beliefs

so the Infinite can expand you

today
we hold on to nothing
and God pours Himself into us


laughing all the way.....

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.
