Motivation
Horizon looks bleak
Closed throat can’t speak
Where to go charge so low
Energy wanes no place to go
Longing present cup is dry
Looking up gray clouds the sky
Future a blank screen
Scream inside feeling mean
Laughter smiles abandoned face
Life’s work gone in disgrace
Loved ones can’t help they try
Inside out wants to cry
Alarm says wake you say no
Nothing worthy where to go
Your get up got up and went
Your penny jar paid the rent
Place to turn inside you
Cells say time to renew
Continue to contribute presence
Drive to serve is your essence
Do you listen to the wisdom of your observer and not your monkey mind?
What happens when you don’t pay attention to that voice?

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.
