restitution
to the unborn baby
who prior to birth
was promised to slavery
owing
just for being--
stealing from the mother
her very blood
this vampirous growth
expecting to be carried around
and fed
and bathed
where does she get off
thinking the world owes her?
restitution
now
for this twisting of baby's hair,
this clamping into chains
the delicate golden petals,
so tender
it brings tears,
so gentle
so beautiful
this lacy song
what's the use of it
if it can't put a meal on the table?
oh the destitution
of this harsh mother,
the world's a dangerous place,
you better learn it now, kid
no one is going to look out for you,
you better get that into that thick head of yours
oh,
restitution
now...
your grace
your humble presence
your clarity
your joy
all the gift
the world could ever desire
blessed
so very very blessed
by your presence

About Me
- Joy Schultz
- 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.
