Consumption
Times are changing Mr. Dylan said
No turning back yesterday dead
Lives in the balance added Jackson Browne
Choice people have go up go down
Energy talent heartfelt desire
People need freedom and will to conspire
Nothing to lose no downside or risk
Embolden empower without a fist
Internal fighting demands cunning smarts
Find buried answers in golden hearts
Get beyond stories lies we’ve been told
Falsehoods deceptions not to be sold
Without stuff they sell we’re all ok
Leave junk on shelves to rot away
Don’t need sellers stories myths dreams
Heart minds expire without better memes
Know what to do what to think and say
No more false truths to stand in your way
No more false gods with guileless shame
Or naked emperors worthy of blame
How much of a consumer are you?
Do you buy stuff mindfully?
What about TV advertisement?

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.
