Footsteps
Shedding skins that tightly bind
Moving doors expanding to find
Space to get bigger in your mind
Searching for comfort being kind
For some life is routine that’s fixed
For others variety in their mix
Always important know your home
Although each juncture you go alone
Each step onto the next rung
Personal voices direct that lunge
Often not knowing your path
Wide or narrow cut of swath
One step then another
Honor sister and brother
We make mistakes on our trail
Forgetting our holy grail
Each step comforts your beast
Feeding hunger with a new feast
Remember it’s not them or you
Finding your way all winners too
As you ponder your next steps
God inside guides and directs
First choose where then choose who
In that order to yourself be true
Remember what lights your path
Honor the presence of a heavenly bath
Look for the essence taking care of all
No reason in this world to fall
Where do you need to explore?
What are you searching for and what questions intrigue you?

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.
