Self-possessed
Who are you how do you be
What sense of self reflects your me
Do roots hold you to earth
Providing an anchor sense of worth
Self-possessed knowledge what you’re about
Percolating inside ballast stout
Center took years of work to entrain
Reflecting essence beyond your brain
Nothing hidden traveling your path
Fosters unfolding finding soft grass
Energy pouring from your cells
Entering a room your light rings bells
Awakened enlivened tempered to bone
So clear the presence so pure the hone
Let anger empty released at the source
Inner wisdom guiding you coming forth
Others recognize integrity from within
Know you’re not a creature of whim
Reflective presence nourished by goodness
Rarely regretful no sense of shouldness
How are you feeling about the presence you are?
How are others reacting?
Are there additions to make?

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.
