Graduation
Celebrate a passage of life
New plateau after strife
Not the first nor the last
Really live graduations fast
Time for reflection joy
You are no one’s toy
For graduates not real
Accomplishment hard to feel
Pause a moment drink it in
Achieved a deserved win
This one is very big
Adulthood a new gig
Self-possession special to feel
The center of your new real
Responsibility ups downs
Go heal other’s frowns
Honor moments mark the time
New presence proud and fine
No small thing passed this test
Soak in with your earnestness
When dear ones have cause for celebration do you honor them?
Who can you celebrate today?

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.
