Respite
Mother earth needs a rest
Preening birds say knowing best
Order clarity all know place
Thanksgiving for all in grace
Not always crystalized in glee
Need foundation peace harmony
Connect to others’ cells slow down
Rest appreciation is the crown
Perspective is grounded serene
Life a dream state with no mean
That wealth engenders love
Starts within seeing a dove
Lives inside human cells
Seated where center dwells
Though war often occupies life
Humanity does not need strife
Long for peace ongoing quiet
Rich insight a steady diet
Tranquility moments’ sublime
Enjoy aspiration rest in time
How much of your life is lived in peace?
Do you value peace as aspiration with guidance for achieving 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.
