Trust we place in those close

Holding who will give most

Sometimes true sometimes not

That provides a very thick plot

The hope we hold for our life experience

Expectation we’ll achieve something serious

Giving and taking through ups and downs

Hoping real family is there through the rounds

We get frightened shaken to the core

Concerned we’ll end up in a ball on the floor

Think of a vision you hold from youth

The warm cradle of family a place of truth

Uncles and aunts cousins galore

Neighbors community could there be more

As you journey forth looking for life

Treasures you love cut with a knife

Are you concerned about your rebirth

Do you still search for your self-worth

Foundation of being connection and place

The bosom of family opportunity for grace

Have you sustained any great loses in life?

Were you disappointed by or did you find comfort and solace in your family?

What did you learn from that experience?

Have you ever thought of the opportunity to teach others how to take care of you?

Have you thought about creating your family?

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.
