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 landing strip

lack
has no landing strip

on grounds of Love

grounded in Love,
where is the spot,
the hole
in Wholeness?

lack in wholeness
makes no sense,
no cents,
no value

who would prefer round metal discs
over a state of mind that has never
once entertained fear?

such grounds as this,
priceless
 free,
given,
Reality


who without fear
would desire it?

and put Joy 
down the garbage disposal?

Retrieve that Baby now!


be still, love,
you don't really want
that hammer

feel the leveling,
liquidity,
pond without ripples

never rigid
never solid

yet smooth as glass

no gaps,
forever filling Itself in

present everywhere

no landing strip
for lack

just a fly
buzzing in your ear...

would you really
let that fly
be your boss?

coming home

She is

i love this Fountain,
the Giver,
the Songstress

Dissolver of all the petty,
Larger than this world

the Clarity that can never be clouded,
the Openness forever
and beyond
the farthest
and further still

forever forever the Space

we are the Space

dear Eyes,
the Space is everything

not the needle (ing)

oh dear one
today notice the Space

to move
to turn
to fly
to crawl
to float
to soar
to slither

so just feel
the space

shared 100%
communal Identity

the Sky keeps opening opening opening

index finger stretching miles up
to touch
the cloud

has it ever not been so?

and now extending back
down down down
to earth
roots

oh extension,
she is

no idea
what's going on

my empty cup
sits on the table

open
so very open

darling
waitress,
it is you

I wait upon.

once upon a time


and it came to pass


the Way farer walked many miles
before he tired

and sat down to rest

and then he saw
before his eyes

the very jewel

he had been seeking
in all his travels

awaking from his nap
there was not one more
step
to
 take

the very ground he lay upon
was rubies

and behold
he saw there was nothing
that was not

and behold
it was all
very
very good

no sight his eyes
could find
that wasn't the mirror image
of the Ruby,
Himself


amen



empty

how very light she felt

when she put down her idol,
her man pot of tea,
she dreamt all her life,
she needed
to partake of
to be filled
to be healthy
to keep her running

oh how heavy all that water is
to carry upon her head
each step of her life

and the copper kettle, too,
ties wings to the ground
and tangles in branches

when space would be
itself

infinite

and fly everywhere at once
being never separate
nor bounded
in any way

yes, how very very wide
she felt her wings to go now
reaching out forever
beyond
her ancient horizon
earth
gravity
decay
and binding this attachment

something
on top of 
the whole

can you really run faster,
leap farther and easier,
glide more effortlessly 
while you tie yourself
to another body?

is it really your wish to carry a corpse,
drag another, 
through your crap?

yes, how very very light
it feels
to let my brother walk freely
on his own two feet

and eye
see him now
waving happily back to me

One Heart
soars

loveliness calls me daughter

Loveliness calls me daughter,
Her mellow kiss upon my forehead,
Her skirt
aswirl
in the breeze breathing up
on my skin,
Her hair the blanket
for my face
to bury itself

the loveliest space,
the absence of "i"

the entry
to
the One

in front of
the none,
don't know,
the Mystery

Lineage
full circle
0 to 0

rest now
nothing

no illusion
to hurtle
the train off its rail

just the Mystery
ever the mystery
now

dear mother of me

today i would
climb out of your head

and back into my own
heart

yes, i want a space in my heart
to climb into, rest, fall asleep
so safe and sound
surrounded
penetrated
held
in love
love
love
love

delight
of my heart

in my own backyard
i want to smell
my fragrance,
taste
me

my nectar
juiciness
laughter
integrity
grandmother...grown up, wise, sane

nothing fools her

fresh air
natural openness

the redness of a stoplight,
is it...
a stop light?

oh my my  my goodness,
it is LOVE!
radiance
round and round and round and round...

penetrating into my eye hole?
or not?

eyes closed
it still gleams,
no electricity at all,
no night at all

life
of my desiring
only

a picture
of a thought
of what?

my car needs to stop?
a hindrance to my destination,
sacrifice,
loss?

or JUPITER!
symbol of power,
infinite mind...
anything i desire
i can imagine

anything
i desire
i can imagine,
can give
to myself

anything!
Infinite Happiness!
now

such grace!

out of your head...
back into
My Heart

dear Mother
of me

Love

surprise

you are always
looking directly
at Love

you just can't see it


gazing at my flower collage again...

appears
in the center of the "flower"

George Washington!

symbol
of leadership
freedom
new beginning
union
unification
ideals

wearing red
and a native American
red and yellow headdress
flying in the breeze

dancing?

campfire
candle
Spirit

Integration

flower/human
life/one
red/white
old/new

pioneers
of space
of Shared Source

flying out
to greet
you!

at the back door...

when you are completely relaxed,
no trying at all,
is how
the light
gets in...


i don't need
to know
what to do...


Love is

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.
