Leaping
Fear’s grip holding tight
Muscles freeze icy fright
Futures’ void drives unrest
Not knowing will you pass the test
No matter times we’ve been before
Horizon daunts approaching door
What to do where to go
Next step how do you know
Facing a cliff
Retreat after a sniff
In the mirror where you came
See from a new frame
Self-talk holds us back
From leaping to our next tack
Faith of footsteps what you need
Trust a trapeze will catch indeed
Turn to future embrace with joy
Welcome unknown a play toy
Fill voids with masterful mind
Leave whimpering clinging behind
Is fear in the way of next steps?
Does evidence support the fear and is the risk real?

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.
