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...

wordlessness

nothing can infiltrate love

attack on love?

are you crazy?

viruses eating away parts of love?

love gives itself freely
eat me
eat of me
All of me
feast on me
take all you want!!!

my Joy is yours

i love you!
i see you,
you harmless
mistaken
dreamer,
with hands over your eyes!

oh what loveliness you are,
dear innocent child

live with me
within me

there is no part of me
that can be destroyed

i am not form

there is no form i don't come through
and no form destroyed that effects me in any way

i am the air you breathe
the sun on your back
the seed from which you arose

eternity is one name
spirit yet another

the truth,
but wordless,
yet all power
all strength
that is
was
or ever will be...

God is

God is

Joy lives

Joy loves
everything

she simply continues to shine
amidst all the thoughts
of this and that

of the particular,
the part

joy is all of the space
surrounding it

shining so brightly
her light on it

her pinkish light
her greenish light
her bluish light...

she casts...
her shadow
on it

so that joy is always visible,
unmistakable

no where
no tiny corner remains
without the perspective of joy

hi there!
she waves
she surprises!!!

yes, oh what a lovely lovely
friendly
surprise!
we all have waiting for us

afraid for so long
to open the padlocked
dark
chest

to ever think of it
barring all images of it
from our mind

now
we have begun
to investigate
to explore
this most ancient
of frontiers

and behind those plastic skeletons
those see-thru ghost costumes

there I AM
Joy JOy joy and more joy

singing so, of course,
joyously

yes, way off the ground!
and just like a child
who is finally discovered
in a game of hide and seek...

who can barely wait for his
loving parent
to discover him...

She leaps out at me
wraps her arms around me

and so welcomes
the mirror image
i am

into One
big laugh!

evergiving

heaven speaks through you
to everyone
in the way
they
can hear

being
like water
enters the cracks
in drips
or trickles
or rivers

wherever the opening is

it will sit forever
waiting silently
and patiently
and perfectly
for the moment
an ear
a mind
a heart
opens the tiniest crack

some will hear your laughter
as their own
and like the ocean waves
let it swell up
as large as it is
and cover them completely
in its joy

to move them
and lift them
and rotate
their point of view

others may stand silent
not understanding
but feeling something
deep
move
within

a yearning
awakened

a moment
of leaving behind
familiar things

this Song of Heart
is
the greatest gift

the only gift
there ever
is

yes, baby, yes


the stream

is so

gentle


and then

into the river

it rushes


and carries


literally

carries

us


beyond any capacity

of our little self

to stop

this

surging


all coming

together

to gather


at the

ocean


all

coming

together

to gather

at the ocean


the waves crash

and continue

on and on and on

as far as we can see

and beyond...


awake and asleep

day and night

and dawn

and dusky

and even when i am feeling lost and confused

and crazy

as i've ever been...


soothing

continuous

a rhythm

so certain

so safe

so

assuring


we rest


rocked

forever

in

the

cradle

i am safe

i am safe

i need nothing

it doesn't matter
what cartons you move
around the room

how you arrange them
the order they arrive
nor what they contain
nor how many
nor how old
how ancient
or how many times
you have believed
you were the dress
you were wearing

i am not the cartons
or the contents

thoughts simply arrive in your mind

come through the window
into the room

waiting for you
to put them on
and act them out
or
not

i see this

attack, guilt, fear
have no effect
on me
or anyone

i
am
safe

"In me is His creation sanctified
and guaranteed eternal life.
In me is love perfected, fear impossible,
and joy established without opposite.
I am the holy home of God Himself.
I am the Heaven where His Love resides.
I am His Holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity
abides His Own." (Course workbook p479)

amazing face

i saw it last night
for the first time

a man's face
made 1000
different moves
in each moment

it was impossible to count
to see
it all

even just one eye...
i watched
entranced

i've never seen
this miracle before
though i thought i'd seen
1000 faces at least
10,000
100,000
who knows the number

i never saw at all
the continual
tiny miracles

an eye shifting ever so slightly
and everything around it
eyelashes
angles
shapes
lids
tilt of head and nose
and
smiles!

oh my gosh!
a smile
just exploding
all over the face!

we do
break
into a smile

oh yes

the whole being
breaks free
from all other thoughts

have you seen
the infinite movements
of a head
changing positions

completely done
for it
through it

no intention
of tilting the head
to this exact posture
in space

yet every moment
all day long
it happens

life!

always dancing!

eyes
always dancing

even in sleep
the mind
performs

the greatest show
on earth

how very very dear
is every face

watch
your
Self

be
lived


no ifs!

no bargains
no compromise
no loss
no exchange

no waiting... to give...
to see if it is justified...
if this person
circumstance
situation
is worthy of your time
and love

no withholding

"no selling the pearl"
if you....
no conditions for truth

God is not "iffy"

the poor--
ignorant
unkowning
forgetful
asleep

and the beggars--
desperate
despair

rejoiced
rejoined


be cause
of joy (be the cause
of joy!)

be cause
of the man/messenger/mind
Who gives freely
(without charge)


NO COST
NONE!!

only Grace

do you hear this?

no time
spent with God
could ever possibly
leave you
with less,
not more

life
love
joy
light
rich experience

it is not possible
that your thought
turn to God
and is not healed

for this
is
healing

God is
the richest place
on earth

freely give God

to you
to everyone
in every moment

no happier
path
than this
exists


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.
