Others
What is your longing dream ultimate vision
What are you searching for wanting with precision
How do you evaluate the things you do
Do they bring you “happiness” to mix in your brew
What is the clear meaning of this ultimate quest
Who is deciding for you what is best
How do you determine if you’ve reached your all
Can you be counted among those that stand tall
Interesting what happens as we advance in age
The nature of our life force transforms our rage
From an internal focus of me me me me
We start to look outward and focus on we
If we get lucky as we march along
Life shifts our perspective changes our joyous song
From focusing on what we realize
The real gift lies in what’s in their eyes
When you count blessings at the end of the day
Measure it by others and their state of play
Those that you care for to whom you give
The quality of your life depends on how they live
What is the quality of life of those you hold dear?
Have you been able to impact their life experience in a meaningful way?
How does this impact your happiness?

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.
