Birthday
Each year an anniversary of birth
Reflect blow candles check our girth
Communicate with those we love
Share essence thank gods above
Opening eyes to truths of our life
Longing for quiet freedom no strife
Searching for home keys fit locks
Belonging under nooks and rocks
Plans for future dance in our head
Vision next week month years ahead
Clarifying purpose closer to source
Measure activities avoid remorse
Drinking in beauty moving with grace
Using self-talk to slow the pace
Standing in sweet air perfumed by roses
Lingering attention of poetry and proses
Taking time to tell those connected
Their presence keeps us resurrected
Rejoice celebrate humbly honor
Those serving us like mother and father
Do you mark the milestones of life partying, acknowledging, reflecting or all?
How have changes made after reflection been useful?

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.
