Deciding
On the edge here and there
Feeling of getting nowhere
No grounding place of home
In a big crowd all alone
Keeps you stagnant has you gripped
Never speaking your mouth zipped
For others you have answers
Telling them how to be dancers
Want it all not miss anything
Want everyone everything
Let go what keeps you on the ground
Before next perch ready sound
Given givens what do you do now
To relieve stress furrowed brow
Turn left center right
Keep walking way past midnight
No one has answers no one but you
This journey takes and gives too
Get clear of facts and decide
Trust instincts god by your side
No bad choice cannot get worse
Living in limbo is a curse
“Not knowing” is its own hell
Recognize let it be your bell
Do what you must make up your mind
Make a decision put it behind
Finding you have chosen wrong
Choose again sing a new song
What keeps you from making choices?
Do you know you can make another decision if you find out your choice is no longer the best one?

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.
