The handcuffs were tight on her wrists. They began reading the charges as they brought her into the courtroom for the trial. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Her heart began pounding at the realization. The room glowed in a translucent display of all known colors of the rainbow and more. It was ruby beautiful, but she couldn't see any beauty in her surroundings at the moment. The jury sat at attention in red plushy chairs, waiting to hear the charges as well.

The judge sifted through the papers, finally finding what she was looking for. Aha, here it is. The charges read as follows:

"In the Matter of the Universe vs. This Young Woman the first charge reads as follows: In the first degree, we find that you have been:
1. Looking for Yourself Where You are Not
2. Denying Your Feelings
3. Focusing on the Outcome, Not the Journey

You are charged with using unhealthy habits, such as criticizing yourself and others, snubbing your intuition, living out of your body in the past and the future (sometimes simultaneously), rationalizing your behaviors, worrying as a means of solving problems, and indulging in a certain amount of self-righteousness, all serving to keep you separated from who you really are."

The jury gasped loudly. This was a serious case. "The trial will begin immediately," bellowed the judge. The prosecutor nodded and pulled out his briefcase. Stunned, she looked around for help. Surely, she had a defense attorney to get her out of this.

But no one was there. The jury stood up to stretch and then settled back down into the comfy, red plushy chairs. This could take some time. The prosecutor began the opening arguments. "Wait," she said. "I don't have any defense. I am entitled to an attorney to defend me."

"We know that, my dear, but it is time for you to stand up for yourself. No one is going to rescue you. We know that you keep hoping for that to happen. It is time for YOU to take charge of your life," stated the Judge firmly.
