Business
Business busy-ness what it’s about
Wonderful daycare sometimes a loud shout
Long task lists filled with to do’s
Arena for creativity with it’s own taboos
A place to act out competitive fire
Sometimes context for service that’s higher
Our dominant social institution
For family and religion a substitution
In business we express personal art
Providing context and fresh start
Exercise all parts of our brain
Exploring new business terrain
For personal drama a great stage
Charm seduction competence rage
A form of theatre in which you learn
Realize dreams while you earn
Work occupies so much of life
Work family sibling husband wife
Colleagues become trusted friends
Their concerns satisfaction become ends
Is work an opportunity to learn and collaborate or just a place to make money?
What about work as service – how do you view that?

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.
