Each day I count my blessings dear

I hold and embrace and keep them near

The joys of living the smiles on faces

Embrace cherished ones and sanctified space

Pleasures of feeling connected to others

Beaming your smile to sisters and brothers

The shake of your laughter the smell of perfume

The greeting waiting when you enter a room

Touch of another when you’re feeling down

Warmth of a hug dissolving your frown

Excitement of meeting a friend you’ve not seen

Sweetness of eating your favorite ice cream

Tasting grilled steak and a glass of red wine

Stadium cheers when the game’s on the line

Millions of stars each twinkle to count

No matter your money they trump each account

At long day’s end when nothing is new

The dance of your dog there to greet you

The kiss of a lover with mouth open deep

The sharing of breath as you drift off to sleep

What are the blessings in your life?

Are there any you might count today?

Do you stop often enough to appreciate what you are thankful for or do you often focus on what’s missing?

Can you see your cup as running over, not half empty?

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.
