Mindful
Human capacity sets us apart
Characteristic enables art
Not an attribute we can see
Quality of mind sets us free
Most creatures instinct alone
No reflection on what’s known
Gifts give us grace
Self-reflect select a face
Choices to achieve
Also what we believe
Along with ability to change
Assess behavior rearrange
Human life not in stone
The mindful do atone
Aware of this and that
Know where you’re at
Want to make moves
Mindfulness for new grooves
Traversing through dark night
Find your north brightest light
Has self-awareness helped make changes in who and how you are?
Forget who you want to be?
How do you get back to a preferred self?

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.
