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...

falling away

Truth is unfolding
step by step
in my mind
in a perfect order
unknown to me

the door simply opens
and behind it is clarity
and laughter

the door falls away
we see it was 
a preposterous thought
to believe that 
someone else must do something
or could affect our happiness
our deepest
changeless 
purity 
in any way

we give so much thanks
that the ridiculous
is now seen for what it is



in light,
Joy

that Good!

if you argue with yourself
fight yourself
conflict with your heart's desire
saying that  what's true can't possibly be true
that you can't possibly be what you really are

that you  can't possibly be
  that Good
Infinite Love
All powerful
happy all the time
tireless
sourced by Something
so beautiful
and so loving
that only increasing happiness is possible


you will feel sick inside

the only way to be happy all the time
is to accept that 
you are Happiness

Happiness created you
eternally happy

you can't argue with Facts
By definition
facts are true

arguing has never proved anything
and it certainly hasn't proved happy

Happiness is

love, Joy

you're it

You're it!

you are  the leader of the world--your  world

everyone here
but echos you

your deepest thoughts
your deepest feelings
your every word

we all agree with you

if you doubt yourself, so will we
if you sing and dance in joy, so will we
if you hide in a corner, so will we

if you open up your heart completely
and have no fear to share your deepest thoughts
and feelings, so will we

if you are completely honest with yourself
and lay down your last weapon/lie,
the one you hold in your back pocket
"just in case" Love gets too close

so will we

the law of the universe is always....
you go first

BE all that makes your heart sing

and that's all you will ever experience.

in the Name of Freedom 
and Power,
Joy

now

the Whole Answer
the Whole Picture
God
is in my mind

the only place it could be

if something was outside us
we could not know it
we could not know of it

if we see it
it is in our mind

we can reach Total Freedom now

we let our mind
be open
once again
to All that is

Truth must include all the facts
and God is the Only Fact 

unless all we see is God/Joy
we have left out the only fact there is

love, Joy

should

"should" is the idea of death

who said it should be that way?

who said we should write in a straight line?
who said we should clean up our room?

who said we should do it now instead of tomorrow?

who said i shouldn't feel this way?

WHO SAID IT?

it is not true!
where is the proof that I should write in a straight line?
there is none!!!!!!

FOR ANY OF IT!

and I LOVE writing in all directions-- full of life and spontaneity--just the way ideas flow!



all shoulds are  a lie

its the mind
telling you over and over and over again

you should be different
that should be different
he should be different

someday hopefully things will be different

this is HELL!


you have everything you need to BE

NOW

You are perfect to be YOU
You are completely adequate to show up 
without any story

Simply being is enough
( it's without all the crap/attack)

that's what we are

It's completely what it is

there is nothing we SHOULD DO OR BE,
only what we love to do and be


so much gratitude to simply be what i am,
Joy

love

I don't attack me
i don't scare me
i don't frustrate me

attack has no effect

and

don't do it

it's not really me

it's just a thought
an untrue thought
a mistaken thought
an insane thought
a dead thought

wild idea
 
that is not true

i don't believe it anymore

I am Love

Love is incapable of the thought of attack

Love is Infinite
it includes all that is


I did not create Love
and there is nothing i can ever do to destroy it
or change it in anyway

remain Love

I am free

love, 
Joy

the void

nothing can ever fill the void

nothing can ever fill the void

nothing can ever fill the void



the void is mistaken perception

the void comes from thinking

that something outside yourself

could give you happiness


stop focusing on one special flower

thinking this is your happiness

God wills you have more Joy

God wills you have Everything


whatever is in front of you
is absolutely the best thing in the world
that could possibly be happening 


whatever it is 
it is our path to God


RIGHT WHERE WE ARE

is the  moment to look at 

the obstacle we hold in front of God


I would stare directly into the eyes 
of self hatred

and see it for what it is

i would stare and stare and stare

and express and express and express

and listen and listen and listen

until i see the Love behind it  


i would look forward to it
knowing this is the only way

to Heaven

love,
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.
