Sorting
What stays what goes
What’s joy what forebodes
Where do you find footing
Pray for when no one’s looking
What blocks movement has you soar
Makes you bolt for the door
Who’s handsome who brings a frown
Who’s optimistic who turns you down
When lonely fills you up
Brings big smiles when in the cups
Who stimulates engages your mind
Who taps creativity never a grind
These questions essential to ask
Looking for your unique path
Others say do not judge
Sorting’s elitist fosters a grudge
We do express ourselves
Choosing what’s on our shelves
Never stop picking why even try
Select celebrate what you buy
Your choice never better worse
Only different never a curse
Respect what’s on their plate
You won’t be held up at the gate
What criteria do you use choosing work, people, possessions, behavior, character, politicians, movies and reading?

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.
