Doubt
Careful of voices questioning you
Mindful of chatter monkey minds pursue
Voices you’re hearing where are they from
What are the sources that make you numb
Meek dears complacent souls at rest
Rarely challenged or goal of self conquest
Bold roam among us seeking something more
Summoning courage doing what they’re here for
Thrusting forward pulled by visions gleam
They too hear voices questioning their dream
Sometimes a whisper sometimes a shout
Demanding vigilance managing our pout
When voices dance in your brain
Say “cancel cancel” no time for rain
Listen acknowledge caution’s concerned voice
Respond mindfully solidifying your choice
Recognize this process serving your desires
Grounds whims fantasies and pure heart aspires
Thank those smart voices causing chagrin
Remember they serve and guide from within
Are you pursuing the dreams of your personal mission?
What stories do you tell yourself about why you are not on your path?
How can you get beyond stories and to the work of your life?

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.
