Giving caring loving them

Filling what’s missing smiling when

They are assured you will be there

Even though not physically near

 

Sitting on fences projecting self

Trying to give to somebody else

Looking to fill an empty heart

Searching daylight where to start

 

Joyous salvation you can find

Making up your own sweet mind

Recognizing it’s not one or the other

In heart space they’re sister brother

 

Glory of you permeates deep

Longing to please makes you weep

Rainbow at end lightens your sky

Dazzling colors free you to fly

 

Must you choose one or the other

Would you deny sister or brother

Love longing to find a feathered nest

A mind of its own knows what’s best

 

Love seek its end follow its track

No control or holding back

Love as big as it wants to be

Honor loving to set you free

 

Have you tried to limit the love you give to others?

Have the limitations served you and what might happen if you gave more to many others?

Stewart Levine

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers. My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all. My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
