Birthday
Each year we mark the anniversary of our birth
Reflect on our standing blow candles check girth
Partaking communion with those we love
Sharing essence freedom honoring god above
Looking for belonging under nooks and rocks
Searching for home base where our keys fits the locks
Opening your eyes to the truth of your life
Longing for quiet places free of any strife
Plans for the future dancing in your head
Visioning next week next month many years ahead
Clarifying purpose getting closer to our source
Measuring activities avoiding remorse
Drinking in the beauty and moving in grace
Using our self talk to slow down our pace
Standing in sweet air perfumed by a rose
Lingering attention over poetry and prose
Taking time to tell those connected
Their honored presence keeps you resurrected
Rejoice as you celebrate and humbly honor
Those around you serving as mother father
How do you mark the milestones of your life?
Do you just “party” or do you take adequate time for reflection?
What kind of changes or adjustments do you make?
How have they been useful in the past?

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.
