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...

no name

without a name,
is not the wind
my breath,
the oxygen in my blood,
my bones,
this space?

is not the rain, the snow
the water that flows through my veins
and pours out my eyes
and out of my skin?

i pour the rain
into my mouth,
swallow it
and like the river
it flows through me
and back out
returning
returning
returning

the plants too
flow through me
as me

what a laugh
what a silly delusion,
the mind's thought
of separation

my eyes see only
that which is identical

one shared identity

One

look out

only one

look in
deeply
forever

look into your brother's eyes
fear not to feel
all of it

one life

look in
look in
to your
infinite heart
expanding
expanding
expanding
forever

no name

coughs

computer
paper
paint
brushes
houses
tables
chairs
phones

even coughs
give us thoughts
in service of love

discomfort
attends to us

we cough up
ideas
for looking at

a visit
a belief
a family of beliefs

wherever there is fear, it is because
you haven't made up your mind... (acim p30)

Good Morning, here are my divisive thoughts...

see
how they feel
remember
what you truly love

i thank these thoughts
for clarity

for rededication
of this
moment

purpose

everywhere



at your service

God is in everything I see,
because God is in my mind (acim)

count your blessings

focus
on the abundance

given

windows,
for goodness sakes,

light shining inward

grace

trees growing toward you
grass everywhere
under your feet

smoothly
paved roads

what kindness!
what shared purpose,
a governing purpose
that removes all obstacles
before
you have any idea
you will even be going there

what infinite love is this...

before you call...

I am
everywhere

just waiting
for
you

at your
service



so simple

light
is so
simple

see
what is (not what is not)

imagine nothing else
this is it

re-joice
nothing to figure out
no one else to be
nothing more important
than this moment
right now
here
this
always this,
not that

no other

gracious
me

give thanks

i am
light

light is the space
between thoughts--
not the thoughts themselves/things

light is openness
where thought
can move around
bend
stretch
look around corners
merge
dissolve
grow
transform

thoughts
can just be
what they are
without any added importance
meaning or cover

even disguises
are not hidden
when there is room
to be what you are

room for
tenderheartedness


how good it feels
to finally have
the most tender love
remove
your mask

and see itself

mama lives

mama lives
inside of you

the childish perspective
that your thoughts are true

is just a "stage"
you'll grow out of

inevitably

no choice

you'll see
your mama/source/provider
is so much more
clear
intelligent
sane
than you ever could have imagined

rest

assured

it is so

babies always grow

no exceptions

not even you

can outsmart
God/Love/Truth

:-)

no other

Oneness
returns all strangers
to their Home

their Nature
now clear to them

touching the darkest region
of my mind

i am consoled

tenderness given
at last
for the most afraid
hidden
fugitive

no longer alone
we walk together
out of the darkness

she is enlightened by contact

leave no stray thoughts
unattended
turning into wild dogs
to chase you
in the night

the pups are in your care
it is your privelege
to hold them,
listen to them,
to give thanks--
and they, too,
will return your love

it is our Nature

there is
no other

fantagraphy

are you afraid of a photo?
or
is it a photo
you love?

do you believe/mistake
a photo for reality?

do you see this is what is causing
all your suffering?

we imagine something
could be different than it is...
a fantasy

a picture on a piece of paper
in your mind

oh woe
the fantasy is just that

it doesn't exist
the imaginary is not real

no one knows about your fantasy
the way things should be
the words you image they speak

Reality is given you now
undestructable

no fantasy will ever be reality

Love what is
and you are sane
and safe
and so grateful

Happiness is not a fantasy

It is here
now



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.
