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...

look In

look in
in
in
in

how can i look inward
while i am looking outside?

what impossible goals
they both become

to have two opposite goals
is to have constant war
constant failure
always unhappy
never achieving anything
nor ever coming any closer
just the hell
of constant
opposition
effort
against itself

no wonder we feel exhausted

war has been our career

today
the soldier
sees his fate
can only be
death

for there is no end to war...

you must choose
one
completely

or war/warrior
is your position


right and crazy....

your defenses hold tight to the shield
and screaming
will not let it go
or lower it
so love can penetrate

God wills you know
your Self

and you
but cling
for fear of death
to your self image

"i can't trust the universe"
is the image we have made

and from inside this image
it is all we can see

but in Reality
no such image exists

You are Everything
There is nothing you do not have
right now

no person
place
or thing
is outside your
affection
appreciation
and approval

we would not
defend against
the Friendliness
of the Universe :-))))

Invite all you see
to open
in the complete safety
of no judgement
against yourself


death

did he actually go
or
did
he
stay?

in my mind
he lives
forever

i met a 25 year old
a few days ago

and my heart
had a dream
of what might have been

had he stayed
he would be 23

but oh
he is so here
in this newer person
i am now

i have lived
not died

he is still
my saviour
from thoughtlessness

he is so a force
a power
in who i am
this moment

did he actually go
or
did
he
stay?

of course
he is here
as me

my heart is open wider
my evolution occurs
with him

my mirror of autism
still
reminding me
to grow

no one
ever
leaves us

it is done

it is not true
you are pitiful,

but such a bright light
and beautiful

you are
but the phoenix
rising from the ashes

oh darling of the Universe
with eyes that see
and ears that hear
and a heart of God
where lives only truth

this
is the wonder you are

not an image made by guilt,

but glory!
is your name

fields of glory!

only this
is you

let no other thought fool you
it is not so

This is but Jesus
and in Jesus mind
there are not two,
but One

only this

this is Life

this is the Wisdom
that speaks to you
day and night
from deep deep deep
within

this is the Presence
of the ages

ever present

no death possible

i have overcome guilt
i did it for you
it is done

i am the Way Shower

i watched it melt away

simply watching

she no longer held any sway
over me

could not persuade me
to jump
on her wagon

to worship her

to believe
she held out anything
i wanted

i saw through her
to the other side
to what was beyond

what life is without her

and no more
did she exist...

only Clarity

crystal ball

people take off
their masks

the instant
you do

the mirror
is a fact

watch yourself

as you
look
around...

here is everything
you could ever want to know
about yourself!!!


generosity exposed

generous:

far far far more
than just enough

generate: create

opening:
i am able
to receive

opening
the world reflects/i perceive
openness

open heart
open mind
open hands
open pockets

generosity of spirit experiences generosity of spirit

the bars are gone
nothing between us
at last

i hold no stake at your throat
because
i hold no stake at mine

there is only One Way to See
things in the Light

everything is totally exposed
Truth is totally exposed

Love is exposed
at last

under the pain
under the covers
of war
and deprivation
scarcity
of you and me

under the illusion of divorce
and the continual scraping of old wounds
that never seem to heal

Love is exposed at last

the ancient river of blood
has gone dry

for where it came from
was darkness

and as the door of my mind
and heart
opened
wider
and wider
and wider still

the Son
could find
no more places
to hide

fully exposed
at last...

we laugh!

at last

at last
i am filled

defenselessness is my drink

the absolutely sweetest drink in all the world

here is no attack at all ever
no fear
absolutely clear water
not one microscopic impurity

nowhere the light isn't

under what seems to be everything else
lies defenselessness

perfectly still

nothing else can possibly hold any attraction at all

behind everything you ever think you want
lies defenselessness

where all suffering is completely washed away

come
lay down
all your homemade recipes
for sweets
and desserts

defenselessness
continues
to rise
and hold open
your mind

God is

we are

filled
at last

emptied of all
that never was


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.
