Magic happens when one begins to follow their heart.

That's how these poems have come.

ACIM says that Miracles are natural, and when they don't happen, something has gone wrong.

A journey towards Miracles is a journey away from worry, and away from regret. It's a path that leads to no particular place, yet one that takes one just where one needs to go. It's a path of gentleness and acceptance, where one finds themselves not complaining any more, not finding fault with everything around, not trying to blame everyone for their own failings.

Poetry is just an outlet, a side dish of the journey.

These poems were inspired by A Course in Miracles. (ACIM) They use ACIM terminology, and were written as part of my own imaginary journey back to God. I started studying ACIM in 1994 as part of my own search for meaning. I never thought I'd be writing poetry. Nevertheless, it seems to come, so I guess I'll write it. Maybe you'll find it helpful, or at least entertaining.


If you are new to ACIM, the poems reflect various themes in A Course In Miracles, but in rhyme. At times, they have adult content, but then so does the six-O'clock news. If they shock you, you can simply forgive me and use them in your journey helping you to learn to forgive. They after all are written for me, from my journey & my experience.

When I began to write these, I had no idea where they will go, or how they will end. I simply started with an idea or a question, and watched how the poem would answer it.

I offer them to you, as they are, and wish you the best in everything
