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...

not me

my thinking thinks
she's god

she knows
what things mean
how people should act
shouldn't behave
or else...
she knows
what will happen then

betrayal
is always followed by
punishment
she thinks

the old story
she tells
over and over and over

but
she is not
God

she is only a storyteller
the ancient
laws
cobwebs

a crystalized mind
stuck
in repetition
pattern
point A to B to C
and back to A
a trillion times
in one day

mindless
no decision ever made

just conditioning

bounce bounce bounce

walking down the street...
nothing new at all
until

a pause

what would happen if...
it weren't true?

that i'm not

what
i think

i am?

Sane

so the loveliness
the Sane

simply clears out the rest

nothing to undo now at all

the Sun simply sings
her great warmth
to you

oh oh oh hello
you
Big Yellow
Son of mine

the most beautiful mirror you are

the well of gratitude
runs so deep

reaching God
the strings
hum again

awoken

life returned
to its natural state

the heart KNOWS
oh the heart knows

the heart knows
no uncertainty

it is always
defenseless

with
everything...

without defenses

without defenses
your strength
her strenght
her clarity
her Sanity
is
me

oh Love
the celebration in my heart
continues

fresh
outpouring
opening anew
oh the buds on the twigs
are not so slow to open

they cannot wait
to share their loveliness
to be
all the color in the world
to wave in the wind
and reflect her pinkness
into the sky

to waft the scents
up and around
and down
and through

just one molecule
i offer
now
to you

everything

without fences!

without de-fenses
fenced off boundaries
of you
and me
other

i am all of it

i am tsunami
i am japan
i am ocean
i am breath
i am cat's vomit
as it comes out on to the floor
in the morning
after she eats me
as spider plant

oh warm sun
oh cold out space
antarctic
so still
frozen for millions of years

where can any place exist
but in my mind?

the tapestry
of colors shapes sizes
measurements
woven all into
ONE

defenseless
i see the connection
of every part
to me
strung together
the web
shot out
in an instant
of thougtht

defenseless
i see it as it is

my images
effects
of my choice:
ownership
or
dissociation

nothing else to see

Healing

there is a clearing
in your mind

where the fire
still burns

ever
burns

we see it through the trees
the broken branches
the decayed ancient growth
the hanging moss

beyond the squirrels' nests
and wise old owls

in the very heart of the forest

the gleam
is constant

your Face
the Face of God

is the sole light
there is

sit here

soak
in

the Healing
Nature
of
You...

tantrums are my hobby :-)

tantrums are my hobby

sadness is a tantrum...i didn't get "my" way

i own my little baby girl part
oh woe
is me

self indulgence
luxuriating
in self pity

look at your life, girl

you have so much free time
and abundance
to sit around
and play victim
in your mind

to replay the ancient
original movie

good guys
and bad...

is this what you would do
with all this "free" time?

you choose to mope?

gorgeous day
for a bike ride
dancing
painting
work
play
meeting people...

who would you be if you didn't want
to be a victim?

thank you for my death

the breadth of Heaven
spreads across
my chest

the heart of war
is mine

the seed of discrepancy

the crack in love
is
my
mistake

oh beautiful cloth
the threads
i tore

the rupture
shrinks
back to before
its image

before
its concept


my son
is mended


as i see
i made him up
for war

against
truth
life
love

thank you
for
my death


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.
