Quiet
Clear crystal silence no chatter or cracks
Stillness serenity stopped in your tracks
Awakened in peace after fight upon fight
Wondering could you last one more night
Calm settles in quieting fear
Anxiety suddenly has disappeared
Longing for solace resting agitation
At last landed alone with elation
What put you through it what sent you there
When you’ve been through it year after year
What if you stop wasting energy
What if you embrace letting go being free
Fear is the culprit taking your space
Filling mind body concerns of disgrace
What can we say about this old churning
It’s here to teach about our own burning
The hope deepest wisdom prevails
Saying no to ongoing travails
Learning to trust step on the next rung
Faith will provide a welcoming hug
What is your way of getting to your place of quiet?
Is it always available?
What do you do when you can’t access it?

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.
