Belonging
Comfort in your body stillness in your soul
Says you have reached safety and you may be home
Respite from that thrusting forward and buzzing around
And all your manic searching for some stable ground
Aside from what we came here to do
We long for a quiet that’s true
Where we are accepted and can truly “be”
Not about what you do all about your me
That is the deliverance that helps sets you free
It’s the grounding focus the nest in your tree
Some of us are lucky and good fortune shines
Having those around that comfort chattering minds
In our own acceptance we receive a gift
Deliverance available to where there is no rift
On this ground we sing our song
Our heart feels known we belong
We sing with glory hail supreme
Know true meaning of a “human” “being”
If we are lucky we get to taste honey
Smart we know honey’s way more than money
How do you know you are home?
When you go how long do you stay, what makes you leave and why?

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.
