Grounding
Move through life seeking center
First thought it resides in a mentor
Initially parents fill the need
Teachers then give us a creed
Religious affiliation career goals
Family friends spouses roles
It shifts place to place
Often outside our grace
Political cause an honored dream
Something simple or extreme
Notice all these things
External to a human being
As you keep moving about
Learning through all your doubt
Come to discover sacred source
Deep inside can’t divorce
Don’t be afraid follow your heart
That spark is your art
Stop seeking external validation
Accept your own inspiration
Is your ground external or internal?
Do you make deliberate choices about your centerand how do they impact your life?

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.
