Forgiveness
Now the time today the day
Let go of what gets in the way
So long fear good-bye resentment
One action to achieve contentment
Not what they put you through
About what you choose to do
Let go of holding set new intention
Lighten your load take new direction
Hanging on infects you
Firing endocrines blood boiling too
Impacts health and decisions
Eliminates revising revisions
Deconstruct this suggestion closely
Know it’s about you mostly
Saying slowly the word forgiveness
Out comes the phrase for give ness
Here revealed truth of the matter
For give ness makes hearts pitter-patter
Get renewed start over again
Takes care of you takes care of them
Can you see forgiveness as letting go, a gift that enhances your health?
Do you realize it’s a unilateral choice?

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.
