Bifurcation
What a wish and longing
Two places each belonging
Feeling pulled sometimes twisted
Want to be here go there missed it
Many times frustrated
When I ought to be elated
How do I succeed
One part wants the other pleads
What to do what solution
From conundrum to resolution
Simple answer easy clear
Both places with good cheer
Hindu masters had an answer
Resourceful intention avoid disaster
Clarity of spirit force of will
Went both places had their fill
Physical body sent one place
Spirit elsewhere went with grace
Intention for what happened there
Physical body calmly here
To some folly mere delusion
Hocus pocus just illusion
Others sure with clarity rare
Imagination’s good as being there
Where did you learn to deal with conflict and is your mindset serving you?
Can you choose to master addressing conflict?

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.
