Caretaking
Good to remember a truth of life
We need caretaking feeling strife
Someone there salving the ills
When cold warming chills
No matter how far fast rich
Sentient life’s not always a stitch
Look for balance peace serenity
While being centered and free
Search for warm you can call home
Nurturing and caressing your moan
Quiets yearning fills what’s missing
Provides solace and face kissing
As you go forward growing up
Notice you get filling their cup
Place we long for warm glow within
Comes from giving wearing a grin
Do you feel part of a caretaking circle?
Who do you give comfort to and who do you get comfort from?
Is the exchange satisfying?

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.
