About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: “Miracles are thoughts. Thoughts can represent the lower or bodily level of experience or the higher or spiritual level of experience. One makes the physical, and the other creates the spiritual.” The Course of Miracles
What are your views on thoughts being miracles?
=============================
The power of positive thinking is unbelievably powerful, and yes, it can create miracles. Most anything can be accomplished as long as one believes it can be done and truly lets herself be enveloped with her thoughts and feelings. Not just The Course of Miracles but many others have said smart things on thoughts leading to achievement and other miracles in life. One of those people is Mahatma Gandhi, who said: “A man is but the product of his thoughts - what he thinks, he becomes.”
Some believe thoughts are powerful because they produce cosmic waves. In 2007, some Silicon Valley people launched a computer game to play just by using thoughts. I haven’t seen the game nor do I know if it worked. However, whether we believe that or not, we can easily see the effects of thoughts on us on a day-to-day basis.
Negative thoughts make our day unhappy. If you have a negative person in your life, it is a given that he or she will penetrate into your mind or well-being. You have two options to save yourself, then. You either run for the hills or try to influence that person to think more positively. The third option will make you a negative person just like the one who could impact your thoughts. Thus, it is better to rule your own thoughts and not let anyone sway them into negativity. As it has been said,
“• Watch your thoughts, they become words.
• Watch your words, they become actions.
• Watch your actions, they become habits.
• Watch your habits, they become your character.
• Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
