Engaged

Engaged by something bigger than you
Gripped by a cause pulling you through
Longing supplanted action profound
Thrusting forward feet on ground

Propelled from inside no fear or complaint
Beyond intention pushed thru a gate
A calling driving steering your ship
Profound navigator attached at the hip

Not tired till out of steam
Pushing forward living your dream
Fascinating to watch yourself emerge
Smiles enfolding you on a verge

Destiny’s been calling you
In your face no time for blue
Sense of lost griped you in fear
Fading memory reward is near

Seeker’s don’t give up rarely give in
Never discount each deserved win
Honor spirit driving inside
Taking you on an E ticket ride

Wisdom intact follow spirits call
Authentic presence will give you all
Cleave to mission let all else recede
Welcome all gifts joyously receive

What engages you deeply, compelling digging in and effort?

What satisfaction is provided and what legacy remains when complete?

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.
