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...

grace is

grace is

now
everywhere
extending everywhere

there is nothing else

only a thought says something else

where would you
build your house?

on this tiny little thought
or in the midst of Reality?

my own mind
is my refuge,
the only friend i have

without this friend
i am lost

it is my own friendship,
my own Reality,
that i have been seeking
since time
began

the state of grace
i am

here is the end
of all mistakes
all war
all conflict

the root of all evil--
not money--
but lonesomeness
for my Self
for Truth
for what is
always
forever

the only thing
that truly lives

here is
the end
of blame

no one
needs to die,
to pay,
to suffer

Grace is

meet yourself

there is nothing
that cannot be shown to me
as Love

that can't be uncovered

the sameness
that lives me

Father
Innocence
Joy
Harmlessness

the deep truth of the
Joy of Helpfulness
and the falsity of the need to protect

enLightened
Being

lit from beyond this belief system:
outside the realm of fear,
symbols of separateness

the gift
of
Presence

smiles on all things

Her very Presence
is all the comfort
we are ever seeking

simply
show up

meet your Self/self

everywhere you look

what an amazing trip
we take today
as we see that everything,
every person this world
can possibly show us
is us!

Fascinating!

we laugh with surprise

Rap on, preacher, rap on!

You-ni-verse

each day as the sun rises
so again
do you,
dear one,

it is your light
you see
shining everywhere you look

it is your light
you see in another's eyes

it is your voice
that sings
your favorite song on the radio

every symphony
is you

your heart
flows through the trees

your heart
grows the grass

your heart rains down
upon the world
and flows in rivers
and pools in lakes
and rises and falls as waves crashing in the ocean

it is your heart
that motors every car
every purr
every atom
bouncing
spinning
exploding
in your mind

all power in Heaven and earth is you
there is no escape
there is no backdoor
that will ever lead you
to any place
but this
Truth

Home

Home
Home
Home...
every where you look
you are resting
in your Home

every single blossom in the world: you

wouldn't you give yoursefl a break today
and celebrate your beauty(b-you-ty!)

(and just in case
you have any resistance to this Truth,
remember,
poop
provides the necessary
nutrients
for Flowers!!!! :-)

no shit...

Thank you, Love,
for what is!

swinging both ways

i can swing both ways

my mind
is flexible

on this side
of the swinging door

you stand
with your specific words
of "negativity" and "confusion"
seeing them as different

i can see that

and i
on the other side
in the other room
point of perspective
can see them as the same

i can see both are true
i can stand on your point of view
meet you there

and i can also
at the same time
see the light
in my room
in my space
on my point
of this path

the point in mind

i can see both ways

the doors easily swing freely
one way
or the other

there is no closed
or open

both exist together
smiling
at the happy truth

space calls for no war/disagreement
but simply
lovingly and gently
looks on all
and holds them all
lightly

Her Heart
being
all
that
really
matters...

only Trust is worthy

only trust
is worthy

has any value to you
holds anything at all

distrust
is the denial of Trust
of Love
of Cause
of Source
of Nature

look how you trust
the sun to come up every morning

don't believe for a moment
you are incapable of total trust
because you are human

the only question is:
where
do you put
your trust?

in the past?
or
present: are you safe
right now?
even as you think
your scariest thought?


Trust worthy

Trust worthy:

only Defenselessness

end of shields
shielding
blocking off

hiding
behind my wall

where i don't
let you in
to my "fortress"

because i
am not safe there

you would see
my criminal
idols
i worship

my rituals
i keep solely for
myself
in place of peace/God/Truth/Reality

in this darkness
where i cannot see me,
where God
does not exist

you, too, would be devoured,
raped
by this sucking vacuum
of emptiness/denial


Trust worthy:

i lay down my shield

i open my darkest places
i tell you every tiny detail/image/belief
that i worship/fear/identify with

and holding hands,

my willingness to be open,
to share
to be totally honest

this heaviness
is relieved

alone
i am buried
under the weight

but with your presence
I, too, arrive,
the teller,
not the tale,

and light
at last
is free
to reach
me


loneliness
has no where to sit
in Defenselessness,
so
she
just
goes...


Trust worthy:

Light...


never stop
telling the truth

and the face of loneliness
is forever facing away

feed thyself

feed thyself

and you will not have to

eat your brother alive! :-)))



drink
from the fountain
within

and you will not demand
someone else
give you
yourself

only you
know what you are thinking
feeling
believing

only you
can question it

only you
can free
feed
release
yourself


what
mighty
power!!!

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.
