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...

empty handed

the silver strands of Heaven
can never disappear

Source
breathes you

Source breathes
"you"

sit still

notice

feel it

no effort
the most natural thing in the world

flow
in
out

no way to hold on to
"your" breath

is it
really
"yours"?

you have no more to do with it
than the wind,
which it is

coming...
going...

no holding on possible

do you see how impossible,
how much effort,
how painful,
depriving,
suffocating
it is to try to stop, control, speed up,
pretend to own
anything?

play God
no  more
today

watch
greet
well come
give thanks
as the Universe rushes in to you

and

flows outward
outward
outward

to touch
every tiny speck
of star dust

the silver strands of Heaven
can never disappear

hold on to nothing,
because
you can't...

ahhhhh.....

reality is all ways
kinder
than the story
"we" tell

life is but a dream

"nothing was ever born but a dream.
nothing ever dies but a dream."
 Byron Katie

Stepsister!
stop trying to stuff your foot
into that tiny little shoe!

it's simply not a match,
two puzzle pieces that don't fit

breathe in

this realization,

it's not meant to be

there is something better--
something perfect 
for you

Big Beautiful Bare Foot!
to walk on
to carry you
to dance
to leap
to kick up in the air
and splash!
in the  surf

your Inheritance
your birth right

you don't need to wear a prince!
or fit in a box!

fit anyone else's dream

no mold from this year or last
from ancient antagagonia...the past....the past...the gonia...

no one else's design

not even yours!

far beyond "yours"!

Barefoot
Naked
You
without a single last defense
everything exposed

nothing hidden
all shame
sadness
guilt
fear
denial
for everyone to see
and in that seeing,
love you
and love themselves

no longer breeding the fear
you will find them out

no more barbie shoes
no more ancient templates of female or male

the sun
doesn't wear a shoe

she doesn't sit
waiting for an email or a phone call
she isn't fussy about her clothes--wearing a right or wrong outfit

she has no  thought about attraction!

she simply radiates radiates radiates
all day
all night
ever giving giving giving

and the world is at her knees,
singing cosmos
of every color,
birds and tides
and kitties
purring
in the window


Big Beautiful Naked Foot!!!

Sister!

Walk on...

It's All Yours....

Allllllll of it

even the little prince
you carry around
in your back pocket

just in case
you're in the mood
for  a good laugh!

suicide revisited


he simply reached

the point:


this story

 of body identification

is too painful.


and as Love would have it


She quickly whisked it


away



and it was

a

free

 for

all

:-))))))

happily ever

after the story

chemistry


what is this thing
we call chemistry?

that rises and falls
titillates and swirls
and crashes on the floor
in mind night:
2:35 in the afternoon...

drama queen enters

exploding on to the scene!

oh romeo! oh romeo!
where for art thou, romeo?

and he
off carousing,
gregariously
floating
down the river
with his party hat on!

a flower garden
of damsels in distress
and jokers.

and prince charmings
were expecting?!

oh, girls
oh girls!

check your own chemistry ratings

perhaps your happiness
has nothing to do
with the whether

he comes
or goes

but the temperature
of your very own
heart
gone hot
or cold!

hurray
for the freedom
to check
our own
ratings
and signal to the world
we are on fire
or avalanche patrol!

swing low, sweet chariot
there's probably a good dance going on tonight

come one
come all

wherever you are
on the scale!!!


deep...

what God has joined

cannot be apart.

no wonder

it hurts

to think it so

resolution


resolution

clarity
 of the depth

every sound spoke its
own
voluptuous voice

distinct
shuffling

something....yes   yes   yes
spectacular
to it

then gone

without loss

and another and another and another...


each as brand new
as the first

brand new

no thought of past
in this happening
of birth

of
never before

inkling!
of
life without clouds
without past
without "identity"

just pure
it

all my  life has been waiting
for this
arrival

and in it
no thought of past
or future

just
enjoyment

yes,
in return to depth

every facet of
the jewel

every facet
of one note

its own pure heaven

nothing else exists


the soft spot


treat every single one
like gold

all pain

is Love,
correction

our very own
built in
 bullshit
detector, 
God

do you see 
how there's really 
only one of you?

the one who can tell the difference
between what's loving
and what's confusion...?

balance...
let's take a look over here....
where we never looked before....

the soft
tender center

the sweet spot,
most tender of spaces

nothing there
at all, 
to offend,
to defend,

oh oh oh such spaciousness

such boundless enthusiasm
and compassion

for the martyr,
the extremist,
the one hanging himself,
jumping off the cliff day after day after day
into oblivion

drowning in his  own tears
and thinking it all his brother's doing
or God's

"shit happens!"

oh really?!

are you positive?

maybe you just didn't f**kng notice
that the sun came up 
AGAIN today! 

that there is a stunning view
always
in your mirror...

that that infant
that was just born
is beyond words!

and that shit itself
is the very building block,
the key ingredients,
to this spectacular dream house!


the Soft Center
sees it all

and never shifts
from pure tenderness

hearts 
that simply melt
are no longer
frozen

treat every single one
like
gold

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.
