Now
In the moment be here now
Stay present let it teach you how
Listen carefully be with what’s here
Allow connections to take away fear
Honor experience in this moment
Your life always own it
Life’s not future or past
Right now’s all that last
Limit discourage of yesterday’s rain
Clouds quickly pass stay present remain
Secret freedom to a rich life
Present mindfulness eliminates strife
Dancing only one foot then another
No thinking about what you rather
Buddha says focus stay clear
Present each day you have a year
Can’t like what you have here
Not likely desires will bring good cheer
Clear as a bell honor your essence
Maintain awareness celebrate presence
Can you center yourself in the present, be a listener in
service of yourself and others, observing your now?

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.
