Stretching
Giving caring loving them
Filling what’s missing smiling when
They are assured you will be there
Even though not physically near
Sitting on fences projecting self
Trying to give to somebody else
Looking to fill an empty heart
Searching daylight where to start
Joyous salvation you can find
Making up your own sweet mind
Recognizing it’s not one or the other
In heart space they’re sister brother
Glory of you permeates deep
Longing to please makes you weep
Rainbow at end lightens your sky
Dazzling colors free you to fly
Must you choose one or the other
Would you deny sister or brother
Love longing to find a feathered nest
A mind of its own knows what’s best
Love seek its end follow its track
No control or holding back
Love as big as it wants to be
Honor loving to set you free
Have you tried to limit the love you give to others?
Have the limitations served you and what might happen if you gave more to many others?

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.
