Kinship
Keeps us alive holds us together
Intact no matter weather
Brings sunshine sends away pain
No matter barometer or forecast rain
Holding a hand kissing a lip
Catches you in startle or slip
Darkest nighttime blackest hour
Presence a sparkling meteor shower
Amazing simple hearts connected
Love connections feel respected
Deepest meanings this a source
Wide smile on your face of course
Sense of traction feeling held
Holding together perfect meld
Infinite variety yours for taking
Crosses boundary’s generating
Bridges ethnicity religion race
Underlying lattice our grace
When feeling down alone
Kinship connection gets you home
How do connections sustain and provide solace in challenging times?
How do you reciprocate and what’s the reward?

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.
