consumption
one bite,
one purchase
beyond real need...
do you feel empty or full?
time out
stillness
pauses
slows it all
down
it's enough to make you stop,
to see a that a million carcasses
won't ever be enough
i can never get
what i am denying
i can never ease
the pain of a lie
with a hamburger
or a new thingamabob
rest is the only thing
that can offer rest
truth is the only thing
that can offer truth
consumption only gives me less and less and less--
it just keeps telling me over and over and over:
you are a body
you are a body
you are a body,
and the truth is
i am not
(after seeing the movie Samsara)

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.
