Fences
No time to straddle fences
Failure to act consequences
Turn left turn right
Glory or another fight
Playing scenarios dancing in brain
Evoking sunny and thunderous rain
Life’s dancing ball bounces up down
Leap to the stars leave you with a frown
Answers sometimes clear as a bell
Sometimes choices wreaking havoc and hell
How do you know how do you decide
How to ensure god’s on your side
What is your truth your best answer
Keep plodding or become the dancer
Opportunity here not where you go
Cultivate your mindset knowledge will grow
In a Zen sense what you do does not matter
The central concern lack of ongoing chatter
You are OK no matter direction
Headed home hold fast your intention
What payoff do you get for agonizing about making perfect decisions?
Ever think of being OK with either choice knowing you can choose again?

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.
