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...

deliciously resilient

do you see the feast we are part of?

did  you see

the warmth, the heat, the light of the sun today?

did you really feel  it?

did you take in that you did absolutely nothing to be given it day in and day out?

that is is a CONSTANT GIFT WITHOUT ANY EFFORT ON  YOUR PART?




do you see it is your self portrait?

it is but a symbol of your infinite warmth, light, energy, joy, expansion, zest, brilliance, LOVE
that  you are
constantly
without any effort

and that there is nothing you can ever do to lessen it or change it in anyway?



do you see the tiny tender green blades of grass
coming up through the snow and mud and pavement
no matter what

without any effort on your part?

do you see your tenderness
your strength
your newness
the comforting rug you are in summer
for your thoughts to play on ?


do you see the beauty in the deep blue sky 
completely without your effort?

that is the deep endless beauty of you
forever and ever and ever 


do you see the totally honest bare white branches?
so strong
so straightforward,
just being bare white branches--exactly what they are
without anxiety
without denial
without pretending or attempting to be something else

do you see your honesty?

do you see the delicious resilience of the gorgeous yellow dandelions?

do you see that no matter how much poison we have used

it HAS HAD NO EFFECT 
on  Your Gorgeousness
on Your Life?

do you see that no murderous thoughts can ever have any effect on Love?

Today 
right now
there is nothing but a 
DELICIOUS FEAST
EVERYWHERE WE LOOK

it is the delicious feast that we ARE.



God/We are in everything we see

and it is very very delicious!!!!!

thank you Reality
for only delicious thoughts


so much love 
and gratitude,
Joy

pain

pain is a sign
 you are trying to disconnect yourself
 from reality


how painful would it be to try to pull your finger off?


that is exactly what we are attempting to do mentally
when we try to believe a separate thought from reality/God/Truth


mental suffering is a gift
saying
OWWWWWW!
let it go NOW!

you are wrong
it is impossible

you are forever ONE
with all that is

you are LOVE
All is LOVE
All the same

nothing else is possible

come back to reality

Decide what you want

you do not want to be pulled in two opposite directions

it is very very painful

it is torture


and it is impossible it will last
and in truth it is only a dream

wake up!
see the Beauty 
all around you
See You
shining
with crystal clarity

all clouds of indecision gone
never having really existed

REALITY IS WHOLLY KIND TO EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING (acim p?)

no one ever really wants to pull their finger off  :-))))))
(no matter how right .....we think we are....)

a loving friend would never agree with you on this.....:-)

we would rather laugh
at the idea
that it seemed like a good idea in the first place.....

if you chop down the tree
you will not have any cherries,
no steaming delicious pie......

keep your fingers
keep the tree
love them and you will be happy for many years......
(wise old saying......:--)))))

much love
a warm freshly baked pie,
Joy

silence

we lose our job
 we lose our money

we lose our wife
 we lose our mind

we lose our peace
 we lose our sense of humor

we lose our friends
 we lose anything we think is of value in this world


and we think we have to
get busy
and DO SOMETHING
to get it back

we have to FIGURE OUT
HOW we are going
to GET BACK WHAT WE HAVE LOST


NO!
if you think you have lost anything

you are out of your mind

you are insane

you are wrong

if you think you have lost anything
it is proof that you know absolutely 
nothing at all

you are of no value to yourself

if you think
you know how to fix it
you are lost in the illusion

be quiet
only this
be silent
very very very silent

wait
and listen
and
you will be told




this is the undoing

you 
do not know

God does

remember this always
and fear will fade away from the dream

Only God!

amen,
Joy

bliss

"there is no way to join 
except to get free of your belief
that you want/need something
from your partner" (or anything...)   (byron katie)




we are here to give/be
fully what we are--
innocence/love


we love people for what they/we are  (content)


and not for what they do (or do not do....)  (form)

loving what we are,
Joy

grace of God

only by grace do i live




only by grace can i love





without grace
i am dead

not what i am

forever denied




i am God

or nothing




only the first part is true

i can't be nothing

because i am something



oh Grace!
that sets us so free
from the possibility of condemnation

oh Grace!
that dissolves 
all imagined slime


Oh Innocence!
that we forever are

thank you
thank you!
thank you!

in joyous gratitude for our release!
Joy

clear path


nothing opposes God

Infinite Joy

off the scale Peace

undisturbable 
Purpose
Meaning
and Fulfillment

seen everywhere
in everyone 
and everything



what seems like opposition
must be rooted
in a very silly
childish 
thought





even a child 
will be quick to join the party
after she has scraped her knee


no one truly wills to suffer


only Light is our Truth

and we give this to everyone
we can possibly imagine 

Everyone/Everything wills to be our Friend
and we love them for it.

love, 
Joy

Cherish You

giving to yourself increases what you possess
recognize
are aware of as you

give back your Self to yourself
and you are free

stop denying it

i bless the world because
i bless
love
feed
cherish
nurture
spend time with
listen to
care about
have a deep fulfilling relationship

with the Real Me
Peace
Spirit
Truth

i am Honest
and inquisitive

i have a conversation
to find out what my True Self
really believes
Who is She

I spend quality time with Her
in silence
simply being with Her
enjoying Her Presence
letting Her speak 
and reveal Her Wonder and Beauty

we give  Heaven back  to ourself

who would we be without the capacity
to hurt ourself
attack
to believe the lies?

when we investigate the lies
the capacity disipates

it is  no longer possible to believe 
the stressful thoughts

thoughts are just thoughts--
wild crazy guesses about reality....

Only Love is True
Only Love is Real


I am God
right here
as Me

God is
i need look no further

today i see the Holy Temple of my Self
and give time
to letting the hugeness of this blessing
be accepted

now am i overflowing
with Heaven
to share 
with everyone that is--me

love love love and gratitude for this Truth,
Joy




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.
