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...

total surrender

i would be off this mental wheel of trying/wanting
to "get"
of scarcity
of lacking
of always having some need that needs to be fulfilled...

there is no end to this...
on the wheel

i give up

i let go of all my
values
games
baubles
trinkets
rewards
aims
goals
distractions

all of "my" road
my thinking

i do not want this...
I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING!!!

what i am
where i am going
what i am doing
what i am here for
i do not know the way to You
i do not know the way to Heaven
i do not know what will make me happy

i completely give up

i sit
and wait
to be told

and now
the Presence can
fill me

now
am i free
to
be
it


the child's unknowing
is filled
with the Father's
Presence

off the wheel
there is another world

i am here
to be the Light
of "not trying"

having giving up "my" plan,

God is

how to sew

my Mother taught me how to sow

there's nothing wrong with me

i can sew a button on a shirt
patch a knee
and hem a skirt

i can change things in my life
take them up
shorten them
or lengthen them

add a button
strengthen a connection
or open a zipper
and let something that is not working
slide away

i can let deception
roll off the table
on to the floor
and watch it disappear
down the alley

there's nothing wrong with me
i can speak
i can communicate
i can sit in stillness and ask
the Holy Spirit/my Own Wisdom
for the Truth

i am the bridge
from one corner of my mind
to the other

i can bring the two sides together
holding each other's hand
and see
that the little child's unknowing
is filled with the Father's wisdom

there is nothing wrong with me
though i may sometimes
lay on the ground
and see only a worm's eye view

the memory of my wings
remains
always
to unfold
at my request...

why doesn't God answer me?

why doesn't God answer me?

are you awake or asleep?

only Love will answer you truly

who can really ask a question
while he sleeps?

have you ever had a conversation
while you were asleep?

can you really hear
what your spouse is saying
while you are watching the game on tv
or cooking dinner
or focusing
on anything else?

shhhh....we are thinking...
can't you wait until later....?

i don't want to talk right now

so it is with us
as we walk the world
with our little game plan...

i'm a little busy right now, God.

i'll talk to you on the weekend...
after the party.... :-)))

it's impossible to get an answer
when we aren't really interested...


i am heaven

i am Heaven

light and peace (peach, i wrote and this is good, too...)
and joy
abide as me

angels hover near and all about
just so ready
sparkling
clear
clean
and radiant
with light

the moment we are willing
to open our mind
and see them

this is you

all clean
all clear
already!

just like opening the garage door...
behind door #3...
it is flung open
and
there

is the amazing you
never touched
brand new
never harmed in any way
never lacking one sparkle

Only God
only angelic
only bursting with light
and beauty and joy
for all the world's happiness

this
is Reality
this very instant
right where you sit

you need do nothing

God is!

grace is certain

grace is acceptance of truth

willingness to act on it

to trust everyone
everything
yourself
to be what you are

no doubts/denial of what you are


question doubts
question denial
question uncertainty

are you absolutely certain
you are uncertain...;-)

you're certainty
is guaranteed by God/Reality/Egolessness

who else would you trust?
you or the Voice of A Course in Miracles
science or the Voice
the school you went to or the Voice
past humans or the Voice

you or your experience of healing
and release
of greater joy
of grace
of egolessness
clean of all doubt
pure
clear
wholly harmless
wholly loving
wholly healing

perfect peace after
shock
suicide
dead body
depression
guilt

this is the resurrection
this is the proof
there is nothing more powerful
than God

no ego/evil thought
has any power
to effect Reality

grace

open road

we are lead by Joy,
not force

of course
the path is joyful

joy is the absence of all fear
all denial
all obstacles

think of a highway
all covered
with blockades

the easiest
most attractive
most natural
quickest
most effortless path

would be to
move through
the space
free of obstacles

so identical
is the path
of joy
in our mind
and heart

it is the open space
that draws us

we are lead by Joy
by openness
by defenselessness

any other thoughts
are blocks

Joy is our destination
and the path....

i love this

purring

what is "om...."
but the giant purring
of the Universe...?

one big furry cat
sunning herself
in the warmth
of the window

she does nothing
but soak it up

so, too, our only job
is to lay there (no interference...)
and soak up
God's love :-)))) (purr....)


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.
