Lovers
Choose loved ones as you become smart
Making those choices life becomes art
No expectations of what you’ll receive
It’s all about giving serving needs
For many it is all about lust
Not about honor adoring trust
Other’s not objects to own or possess
Not just a tool for your happiness
It’s giving freedom nurturing others to grow
Allowing their fullness presence and flow
Honoring cherishing what passes between
Mysterious emergence creations unseen
Allowing caring and being there
Providing guiding and being fair
Hoping for all they can be on this earth
Not for your pleasure or your self-worth
Be totally present to what they need
Listen for wishes and how you might feed
Respect be tolerant acknowledge their presence
Promote in all ways their profound essence
No matter the distance no matter the time
No matter the reason or if there’s a rhyme
The gift passes quickly please pay attention
Enable loving it’s a noble dimension
Can you add more ways of loving to what you already do?
Who else might you love and how might you love differently?
How about yourself?

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.
