Stress
Not good for the constitution
Negative motivation not the solution
Mind spinning teeth grinding stomach knotted
Doesn’t serve health manifest what’s wanted
Fine line between tension and stress
Torque of tension pulls to success
Tension propels pushes you toward
Stress freezes in a tight wad
How do you tell where’s the line
What might you do in your time
What’s the action technique tool
Harness stress create a jewel
Progressing on your goals
Stuck in the mud digging holes
Wheels spinning over the line
Slow down rest drink fine wine
Find a solution that works for you
Slow your process to see you through
Tension provides torque and action
Reward is exquisite traction
Can you feel tension when vision’s out of alignment with where you’re headed?
What destructive stress can you recalibrate?

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.
