Smiles
Deep inside an ordinary something makes you smile and grin
Tickling hidden parts generating some kind of whim
Thoughts intersecting from disparate places
Disjointed connections touching cords sent by graces
Sometimes coming from a clear realization
Wry smiles reflecting a kind of elation
Taken as a friendly greeting you are welcome here
Putting others at ease a wide opening ear to ear
Smiles mirror feelings locked somewhere inside
Dispensed by a keeper doling out warmth with pride
Creating connection when others return
Immediate bonding is what you earn
Smiles reflect warmth from the hearte
Your body generating a beginning a start
As we grow older closer to our core
We feel more of god and we want more
Sweet smiles come quickly and say it’s OK
Representing much our words cannot convey
Time to get generous with your sweet smiles
Taking you across chasms for miles upon miles
Smiling takes you where mind cannot go
Smiling connects so you’re not alone
Smiling showers others with nectar from above
Smiles sacred gifts of gods purest love
What usually happens when you smile at someone?
Who have you smiled at today? Did they smile back?
How did that instant connection make you feel?
Have you ever thought about allowing and enabling more smiling in your life?
What get’s in the way?

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.
