Essence
At the center heart
Caring with tears and art
No simple answers on earth
Each day delivery birth
Life situations teach
Chart direction reach
Experiences point the way
Grope answers in your play
Gusto intensity living brings
Trying this that drink of things
Glory inside never fades
Even battered by the shades
Long run return to godhead
Pure spirit lives essence fed
Pretend what you have is real
Dream states reflect what you feel
Chances taken journey you follow
Perfect though can be hollow
Purpose of living not material gain
Power of presence in pleasure pain
Are you pushing edges and testing your expansion or playing safely?
Can you courageously go deeper and wider?

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.
