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...

stillness watches

stillness watches
all things
without judgement

stillness sees only stillness
wholeness
the necessity of every small part
in relation to the whole

this moment in time
this change of thought
this "lesson"--seeing it is not so....

everything
in service to the Light

oh dear Master
of my Soul
Who is in charge
and is asking me in every moment
is that true?

the Wisewoman Spiritkeeper within
always there,

"is that what's really going on?"

her holy eyes know
and see
of course
it is not

a grocery store
a date
a beach
a cat

but a question
of truth....

what are you?

Spirit
or
flesh?

and from the Depths
the Answer
always
echoing
echoing
echoing

Home
Home
Home

remember
your Home....

stillness

bargains

what bargain
can take the place of God?

something for nothing
is a plan of guilt--
stealing
and so hell
and damnation

i give nothing,
but take what you have

poverty thinking
demands poverty be maintained

a black hole
but wills to suck in

no comfort can ever be found here

this is the dream
that must be recognized
for what it is

death can never
bear life

and
you are not dead

crucifixion is only an idea
in your mind

an error in your perception
of Reality

Joy being the Source of Creation,
where can crucifixion be found?

Joy but holds out her hands to you
She wills but to touch
your Heart
so gently
so lightly

the Hush of Heaven
is all
you
ever
hear....

and so
it is

through the eyes of a fool

what is lunacy,
luna see?

but to see the light
shining
in the darkness
and the path that is our own

primitive societies,
pre-civilized,
called their
strange thinkers
strange seers
but shaman

seeing the world through
the eyes of a lunatic

someone whose axis
is shifted just a few more degrees
than average

is to see everything
from a new perspective

looking in through an open window
instead of looking out
from inside the mind of the dreamer
sleep is revealed

what is strangeness
but a different point of view(ing)
habit eats breakfast everyday at a table
sitting down

never
experiencing
what it is
to sit
on a cloud...

rising indeed from the bedcovers
and instead of placing bare feet
on to the cold stone floor

the fool unfolds her wings
and is lifted
without effort
to break her fast
in the clear blue sky

high above the level of all problems

with a vista
that bends
around
all curves...


rotation
of the mind
must occur
for a full
view
of
reality...

this is the
revolution

inside
each
of
us


slowly
slowly
slowly

we turn....




Mount Self

the mountain emerges
from under the snow

feel the massive movement
within your mind

yes, truth rises
again

like no other
tiny idea

Truth fills the scene

the Mountain
holds it all

all else rests upon this
mountain

whereupon the commandments
live

there is but God,
no other gods are possible

this
is the mountain
i am

simply Light
without anything else
at all

aromatherapy

Truth is true
there are no alternatives

no different "rooms"

no body of you
different
from the body of this
and the body of that

containers partway filled--
some more
some less
but always holding
different
ingredients

Only Truth is true
each bottle
overflowing
with
the same Life

filling the air
with
the delicious aromas
that do ignite

our fire

and make it grow
brighter

the aroma of Truth

even without our awareness

it is all
there
ever
is

Joy is open

Joy opens wide her door
and here is Eternity at last

Heaven's gate
has never been closed

no fence at all exists

the truth is seen at last

imaginary thoughts
are not real

Holiness is the only judgement
that is true

earth quakes

the earth
quivers
and shakes

quakes

the towers
crumble
and fall

the world is rocked

where fear has tiptoed away

what remains
where fear has gone?

no hard fast rules
no nets for catching people up
no entrapment

nothing to trip up on

only
crystal clarity

sparkling in the sun

perhaps at first
we have to squint
because our eyes are so used to
dark thoughts and deception
drawn blinds

but now
there is no denying it
any longer

birds do sing in our hearts all day long
unstoppable

and the Light
of constant Joy
is not a figment
of our imagination...


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.
