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...

clayfulness

clayfulness

how loving is this thought

everything putty in my hands, literally

are you my lover
or my killer?

wow!
what power!
this sculptor has

one flick of a finger
and you are down,

clayfulness

now the angel that lives me

oh dear dear dear God
am I

Heaven is a decision I must make

now

tender mouths

silence
lets other people
speak
your truth
you have denied to yourself

your unconcious
is simply
what you are hiding from yourself

silence
meets these thoughts,
opens wide the space to hear

invitation
to poetry

watch
these tender mouths
about you

from their lips
these jewels
are yours

shared treasures

fountaining
out of God

in the light
we can both
see them sparkle

thank you thank you thank you
for your honesty


open book

open book

the last book you'll ever read

revealed
unveiled
in quiet
as you sit,
watch,
wait

the still
small

voice

of silence,
is the pathway through
the crowd,
the throngs,
of ideas,
concepts as people,
pressing upon you

the parting of the sea
that
you may walk through,
cross

moses
is
silence

the laws,
thou shalt have no other gods before me

is not a commandment,
but the nature of reality

nothing but Love
exists

no other idea can hold
against this fact

pretend all you want

nothing outside you will
ever give you
your happiness

oh,
this is funny,
i see it now...

upon my open slate
this morning
i am given the first commandment,
the underlying truth
of All that is,

the oldest testament to Love

timeless,
upon my couch,

this timeless voice,
this timeless truth,

God is
and nothing else is

this truth
does
undo
all mountains

equal ground
justice for all

beyond time
beyond space
beyond fear

silence

listen

mystery
revealing
now

speechless

of fire
of love

"of"
re stores the relationship

of
ov um

the question appears
"what are You?"

re turn (back around)
to God
to what?
of what?
of What are you?

without needing to know
just relax into
of

feel yourself
resting on the cloud,
held,
supported

"out of thin air"
of air
of nothing
it seems...

can it be
that nothing
is a "magic box"

that the unseen,
the invisible,
is not really
nothing?

the "don't know"
the mystery

sacred
untouched

unimagined,
unseen is un-imaged

without a picture,
a concept
for it,
does it mean
nothing is there?

perhaps nothing conceivable,
being
uncontainable
no words

be fore words,
backwords,
in back of words

no other gods,
words,
concepts,
be fore
me, God: no word

without needing to know

allow

no need to understand:
listen
listen
listen
listen
listen
listen...

you will be told

Love will blaze a pathway
of
Itself

Heaven

perfectly harmonic

smiles:

creation

simply arriving
simply arriving
simply (you play no part)
arriving...

mystery

mind wants to crack it,
this "nut"

to box it
describe it
analyze it
predict it
organize it
market it
teach it
a product with an instruction booklet
to be "mastered"
and rated
and evaluated

to be the knower of It
to have dominion over It...
over it's Own Creator

the child,
to understand
the Father

is to miss the Father's Love

to learn of the Father,
is to listen

allow Heaven to speak
beyond your wildest dreams
beyond your imagination
beyond your little concepts

just allow
this moment
in full glory

open

to the Infinite

right here,

right now:

i see
the Love of God
is shining
in "a jade plant",
the dancer
curving
so gracefully,
beauty,
brand new
creation
tender
innocent
infinite

i have never seen this
before,
never seen
anything
so beautiful

speechless

of

"of"


is why

there is no "i"


contemplate "of"

it's the whole picture

water pours out "of" the faucet
one (substance)
no separate identity/quality/nature
ever

of
God

no "i"

only God comes of God

the same
extending out

"of"
is truer
than
"i" (made up concept of separate, image)

no view of "eye"/i
in water,
any one point
isn't possible

no pause in flow
no separate paused position

"of"
is the
corrected perspective
of "i"

the frame around everything: "of"
it comes of
something

water,
no stop
no start
continuous flow
all
of
all

one

of God,
the same,
but not the originator

the child,
not the Father,
though like Him in every way

effect,
not cause

sourced

wholly dependent

"of"

the umbilical cord still in place

100% shared Identity

"of"

missing nothing
supplied
supported

the connecting pre-position...of God

no need to "get",
being "of"

no need to
to defend,
being "of"

provided for

of
(told)

of,
not discrete

"of": our true relationship to the Father/Reality/the invisible

"of"
rights
the upside-down
backward
way of seeing

"of": all safety

One

of
Service

"of"
is why
there is
no "i"

contemplate
"of"

sister kitty

sister kitty
loves me
inside
she purrs
to calm me down

to gently
massage
the tension
the mind contracts

contracting
dis ease

re lax ing
the kitty
absorbs the Sonlight,

follows it about the Home

free for the receiving

pouring down
pouring through
coming to

shade or light
whatever kitty
prefers

i've noticed
my kitty
always accepts the gift
of warmth
and light

so
natural



re-maining

he's off

the ship has left
the dock

to sail the world
unseen


i remain

at Home


stature
of liberty

Holiness,
the lighthouse,
torch,
the lady holding the lamp

the cat
in the bag,
trickster mind
under wraps

free now
to walk anywhere,
long broad footsteps,
stepping wide across the desert,
over the mountain range

one step in the ocean
and out the other side

hands
able to reach the stars
and collect them
in her purse

or perhaps
rub them in her hair
and like fireflies
let them dance about her face

woman of light,
teardrops of moonlight
falling gently down her cheeks,
but cleaning out
the ancient ducts
blocked so long ago
by dirt and dust

lady of light
reaching in the window
in the morning
to wake you from your dreams,
and let you
read
by candlelight,

the eternal flame
the eternal flame

the eternal
flame

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.
