Context
Right here in this place
I persevered own my grace
Journey long tumultuous painful
End result apparently gainful
Why alive what are we here for
How do we make our days count more
On this earth beyond accumulation
Can we find lasting elation
Things have value they do call
Not meeting needs leads to a fall
Take care of business free your mind
Contemplate what you long to find
Inner journey what life’s about
Revealing the power of your shout
External experience provides context
Don’t fool yourself caught in excess
How to shape what you might do
Ask your heart it will tell you
No giving in to doubt or fear
Honor grace salvation near
What context does the voice of your heart provide?
How often do you listen?
What calls your attention?

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.
