Life
Great journey called living
Challenges joy giving receiving
Dear ones smile hearts aflutter
Disappointments cause a shutter
Over many bumps on the road
Mindset helps carry the load
Sometimes lose it let go let fly
Can’t hold tears have a good cry
Joyless sadness empty within
Hollow vessel wreaks havoc then
Convinced you cannot take more
Calling provides an enlivening chore
Remember before making a fuss
Life’s about learning not about us
Lessons engendered by joy and pain
Each one makes you whole again
Minds’ eye holds keys to happiness
Careful measures defining success
Be observing see everyone else
Not all serious laugh at yourself
Do you get engaged in life’s day-to-day drama?
Have you tried seeing from a higher altitude larger perspective?

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.
