Appreciation
Maybe beginning perhaps an end
Life is relentless at every bend
Surprise as we pretend command
Draw cards can’t predict the hand
Never expected to feel this depth
Profound emotion draining strength
Changing accepting sense of fate
Learning perspective value of mate
You honored this young man
Cavalierly dismissed your plan
Realize all I did not see
In replay give more of me
Tell myself I’ll be OK
Through trauma return to everyday
In living lessons come
At the bone know the world from
A new place on sacred earth
Broader vista tolerance mirth
Loved you dear one more than you know
Connected forever souls dance so
Reflected and realized what you were blind to?
What lessons and are you more awake, conscious, mindful?

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.
