Apprehension
Sometimes gripped by fear
No matter accomplishments every year
This time land on our face
This time we’ll fall from grace
No matter success we’ve had before
No matter times through a door
Is it real what we’ve done
Can we think we have won
Don’t let me slide from favor
What forces can serve as my savior
Don’t let me tumble from success
I need guidance from helplessness
Longing for something real
Wanting aliveness and to feel
Fear part of the great mystery
On the path to being free
Longing solace reverie real
Rest reflect form my own keel
Apprehension a strong motivator
Catalyzing action making greater
Why fear no matter how many times you have done it successfully?
Irrational mind speaking or real impediments to success?

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.
