Grounding
Life journey seeking center
Think it resides in a mentor
Initially parents fill the need
Then religion provides a creed
Political cause an honored dream
Something simple or extreme
Teachers and career goals
Family friends spouses roles
It shifts place to place
Often outside our grace
Notice all these things
External to human beings
As you move about
Learn through all your doubt
Discover your sacred source
Deep inside no divorce
Don’t be afraid follow heart
That spark is your art
Why seek external validation
Why not your own inspiration
Is your ground external or internal
Do you make deliberate choices about your center and 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.
