Freezes you in terror startles you to stone

Opens eyes to the fact you are alone

Spasms your whole body tightening your back

Screaming deep inside wanting to attack

Aggression surrounds asks for your hand

Think you can fight so take a stand

Steel yourself like girded rock

Inside ticking tightly wound clock

You realize the tension is you

That will not save the thing you do

It’s giving up not doing more

Letting go not being sure

Accept what’s happening in your life

Cycles we go through serene then strife

Recognize you are not alone

A force walks beside carrying your home

When fearful filled with tears and rage

You turn for counsel very sage

Look to heart find spirit inside

Have faith in wisdom trust have pride

Resist temptation to compare your path

You are unique soak in your bath

Trust lessons and what they reveal

Your journey is to what is real

Is the source of feeling incomplete or inadequate left from before you had your own consciousness and will?

Do you need to update the inner dialogue that generates these feelings and forgive yourself for actions based on childhood programming?

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.
