Service
Arrived shared made many friends
Purposeful meetings with noble ends
Seekers healers with common mission
Honoring tradition heralding transition
Suffering alone on separate paths
Learning what triggers personal wraths
Must be the change you seek
Substantial effort not for the meek
Doctors lawyers priests leading edge
Stand tall on values out on your ledge
Humanity needs your help
It’s reeling spinning listen to the yelp
Those you serve impact many lives
They’re hurting searching fed up with lies
Seek what’s enduring a calling to serve
Come with presence perseverance and verve
Seek to restore what’s missing on earth
Remember you came to contribute worth
Time to rise up create new story and vision
Act quickly with resolve and precision
Time to lead colleagues and friends
Time to honor thoughtful ends
Engaging with prayers and dreams
Honoring service to higher things
What is your calling and what legacy do you want to leave?
What institutional constraints that impact your service need to be addressed?

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.
