Perspective
Choices to choose
Choices say win lose
How we frame questions we ask
Determines how we see a task
Music to dance sounds in our head
Conductors control what’s said
Way we hold things says soar or fall
It’s not random at all
Smart knows what to do in the whirl
Brilliance what to think in the swirl
How we approach perspective we create
Determines outlook dismal or great
Path we act out on this earthly plane
Marks our existence and what remains
Make choices when awake
Shape the life you get to create
Remember you have control
Determine how you grow old
Mindful aware of cause and effect
Perspective promotes your happiness
Glass half empty or half full – how has your perspective been shaped by confirming or disconfirming events?
What is the impact of perspectives in your current reality?

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.
