Envisioning
Many not sure what to do
Act with haste react sit and stew
Never to bottom never to clear
No time or thought to what is dear
Takes pointed focus a lot of strength
Indecision when your jaw is clenched
When you have misgivings and uncertainty
Hard choosing a course that will set you free
Getting freedom avoiding remorse
Envision consequences before choosing course
Planetary sadness pain that makes you scream
From unfiltered action not attached to a dream
Put yourself in future play out every scene
Embody all the results living in that dream
Get into the feelings all the mental sets
See the place you’ll be before taking steps
Listen to the voices speaking from inside
Telling your truth beyond foolish pride
Rarely about winning simple common sense
Honoring inner world beyond all pretense
Slowly in your cauldron heat and passion cool
Never want to reflect say I was such a fool
Open to your depths let them bubble up
Only your true voice fills your wisdom cup
Are you good at imagining what will follow from a action?
Do you take thoughtful time to listen to yourself and others?
How has that impacted your way of acting in the world?

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.
