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...

don't fight yourself

everything is easy

when you don't fight yourself

accept what you are


i am a bird
that loves to sing

i love to fly around
from one thing to another

i love to play
i love to experiment
to explore

to be still

to stop 

to wait

totally empty

i love to be open

so there's space 

for revelation


everything is easy

when you lay down your plan, 
your idea

and simply listen
to what comes through the receiver

Mind is infinite

we are all constantly connected

to all Joy
all Wisdom
all Light
that is

Heaven is now!

everything is easy
when you don't fight yourself

and goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life,
Joy

the gift of nothing

the airlines but reflect back to us
the price we pay to carry our luggage

it does take a great deal of effort
it does take up a great deal of our attention

how much value do we place on our luggage?


i received the gift of nothing tonight

i thought i might like to bring back some old magazines
from my dad's house
to use in my art classes...

but i had no room left...

and then i got it

i received the brilliance
the lightness

the improvisation i get to live
holding on to nothing at all

completely free
completely unattached

simply an open channel

able in this moment
to fly in any direction
joy takes me

truth

truth is so clear
completely transparent

there are no stumbling blocks
nothing that isn't true
no doubts
nothing to question
nothing to figure out
nothing to decide

light simply streams through
everything is wide wide wide open

there is no place where the light does not reach
no shadows

there are no degrees of light

we either see it
or we don't

my salvation comes from me
any other idea is complete darkness

God's funeral

we stand before God's casket

the only place our self hatred could ever lead

the inevitable destination

of arrogance

separate interests

high school drama

childishness


we look at each other

and in this moment

we finally get the slap in the face

we finally get the hit we need to wake up

we finally see

where we have been headed

by following our own plan
our own ideas
our story
our idea of rightness

we look at each other
and in this one instant
of recognition
we see
it is done/over

let's get to the bottom of this
NOW

we need not rehash one moment of
hate, pettiness, remorse

it's done
we want it no more
we remember our
Father's Love
our Father's Face
our birthright
the Source from which we both came
and remain

we remember
we are one thing

we remember
all we really want

and we remember
most of all
there are no differences

the casket within us opens
the casket in front of us opens
and we see
only light
only love
only peace
only joy
only wholeness
radiates
everywhere

the corpse of God
of us
of Love

remains forever
an impossibility

death,
but a dream,
the logical conclusion,
of an impossible reality

what do you want in this moment?
eternal bliss
or death

we love how easy the decision is
and that in truth there is no decision
to be made.

in life,
joy

spontaneous combustion

Spirit is

there's nothing we do

it simply comes to our awareness

rises up from our memory

we find ourselves humming God

we are moved from within

we are sung into

our "efforts"

are a joke :-)



behind everything

God

home

what is home,

but Oneness,
totally surrounded
by that which we love

totally unthreatened
safe
completely secure
in what we are

Home,
in place,
fitting,
nothing itchy,
nor irritating
nor slightly off,
ajar,
abrasive

only the smoothest fit
frictionless
seemless
flawless
awe
and
wonder

unknowing

i step back
and let openness
lead the way

let unknowingness
lead the way

i am not the thing
i thought i was

i am not the body
not the story
i identified with

nothing i thought
i was seeking
could ever satisfy

i am not the seeker

i am the never was lost

i am something wholly different
something
behind
before
all thought

something
unknown
to my story

something
so vast

so open

so removed

and yet

only here
in this total absence of story/identity

is Presence
undenied

and

known

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.
