Peacemaking peacekeeping noble art

Beginning inside where to start

First place look inside your heart

What motivation you play what part

Does your action reflect an inner smile

Does engagement transcend ego’s wile

What lies within inner reserves

Compel action when you lose nerve

Humanity pulls you to this end

Not knowing what’s around the bend

Compassion broadens wings of dove

Sweet nectar the purity of your love

Quietly in touch with inner source

Stop your chatter let go of remorse

Conjure a vision peace that abides

No certainty about your traveling rides

Let faith emerge to quiet fear

Trust god will guide help get you there

Path straight and narrow steps steep and true

Stay mindful honor counsel it is not about you

Be a selfless presence voice guiding the way

Your instrument merges with sense of play

Silent at center chaos all around

Mystery birthing peace from common ground

Have you embraced the truth that your external is a mirror of the internal?

What is unsettled in your world such that you crave more peace?

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.
