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...

what is your will?

Father,
What is your Will?

expand expand expand

keep always
the BIG picture
in mind/in awareness

seek not the narrow vision
which excludes/
focuses attention
without regard for the rest
of reality,
its relationship
to the WHOLE

one tiny speck
you regard
as the whole
of existence

it is not so

open wide
let any small thought
any thought of specialness which would
make one part of God
more precious
than another

fall
away

as easily
as it entered
your mind

with silliness :-)
--laughter...
will the belief in pain be gone

is the left ear of a cat
more precious than the right?

that is what you believe
when you make one person,
one anything,
more precious
than a rock!

God is One.

Period.

One Will

of
Joy

in everything
every moment
every sight

My Heart
is
the Origin

of
All
i see

thank you for absence

i didn't need ____ to be there
or here
now

my mind is lying to me
it's not telling the truth

without the lie
divine space

sunlight
treesfamilyfriends

time to be with me
a gift of love
meeting me

abandonment
desertion
rejection
only love

how else will you stop lying to yourself
that you
aren't enough

love pries my fingers off that beloved idol
my dear cherished pacifier
breaks away
and frees me
to finally bear witness
to my magnificence

divine space
at last
no one else around

you dawn on you

without crutches
it walks

God
walks it

thank you, God
that everyone fails me
that nothing works
that no one else is responsible

only i
can
wake up

no name

without a name,
is not the wind
my breath,
the oxygen in my blood,
my bones,
this space?

is not the rain, the snow
the water that flows through my veins
and pours out my eyes
and out of my skin?

i pour the rain
into my mouth,
swallow it
and like the river
it flows through me
and back out
returning
returning
returning

the plants too
flow through me
as me

what a laugh
what a silly delusion,
the mind's thought
of separation

my eyes see only
that which is identical

one shared identity

One

look out

only one

look in
deeply
forever

look into your brother's eyes
fear not to feel
all of it

one life

look in
look in
to your
infinite heart
expanding
expanding
expanding
forever

no name

coughs

computer
paper
paint
brushes
houses
tables
chairs
phones

even coughs
give us thoughts
in service of love

discomfort
attends to us

we cough up
ideas
for looking at

a visit
a belief
a family of beliefs

wherever there is fear, it is because
you haven't made up your mind... (acim p30)

Good Morning, here are my divisive thoughts...

see
how they feel
remember
what you truly love

i thank these thoughts
for clarity

for rededication
of this
moment

purpose

everywhere



at your service

God is in everything I see,
because God is in my mind (acim)

count your blessings

focus
on the abundance

given

windows,
for goodness sakes,

light shining inward

grace

trees growing toward you
grass everywhere
under your feet

smoothly
paved roads

what kindness!
what shared purpose,
a governing purpose
that removes all obstacles
before
you have any idea
you will even be going there

what infinite love is this...

before you call...

I am
everywhere

just waiting
for
you

at your
service



so simple

light
is so
simple

see
what is (not what is not)

imagine nothing else
this is it

re-joice
nothing to figure out
no one else to be
nothing more important
than this moment
right now
here
this
always this,
not that

no other

gracious
me

give thanks

i am
light

light is the space
between thoughts--
not the thoughts themselves/things

light is openness
where thought
can move around
bend
stretch
look around corners
merge
dissolve
grow
transform

thoughts
can just be
what they are
without any added importance
meaning or cover

even disguises
are not hidden
when there is room
to be what you are

room for
tenderheartedness


how good it feels
to finally have
the most tender love
remove
your mask

and see itself

mama lives

mama lives
inside of you

the childish perspective
that your thoughts are true

is just a "stage"
you'll grow out of

inevitably

no choice

you'll see
your mama/source/provider
is so much more
clear
intelligent
sane
than you ever could have imagined

rest

assured

it is so

babies always grow

no exceptions

not even you

can outsmart
God/Love/Truth

:-)

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.
