Amazing how life takes us to places

From which we never expected graces

Often surprising counter intuitive

Locations provide varietal renewing

Most of us learn feeling life’s tether

You can’t love this and that together

As we age if we’re smart

We chose to follow not “right” but heart

When honest with self

No reason to hate someone else

Usually don’t dislike who they are

It’s what they did their action ajar

Reflecting on our own dis-ease

Their action opposite of what would please

We have a choice in how we react

Hold onto anger use your tact

Though deeply hurt choose to forgive

That noble path teaches us how to live

Letting go continuing love

Mindful connected to godhead above

Are there opportunities for you to choose a greater level of compassion toward others?

Do you understand that forgiveness is more about your letting go than punishing the other?

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.
