this con-trap-tion,
we call a mind,
eats, lives, nourishes itself
on contrarios,
breakfast,
lunch,
dinner...
give me your tired,
your poor, your sick...
i will mash them up
and put them in my bowl,
tasty treats,
sugarcoated
deserts
the more color!
the greater the inflation
to mask its nothingness,
the better
O my
what emptiness it is
i seem to distract myself with...
this con-trap-tion
called the mind,
that makes no thing into something...
the emperor's new clothes
and we all stand around
appalled
at the story on the internet,
mouths open--
no!
what vileness
this world holds
yes, dear one,
yes
it's caught you,
the hook is in your mouth!
would you bite down harder now
or
release it?

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.
