Su Wen
In this sacred moment at your unique pace
It all comes together with style and with grace
After the struggle after the pain
Your humpty dumpty together again
When in the throes of grasping for a life
On the steep journey you are the midwife
Times you can’t breathe you gasp for breath
Struggling to emerge from your sunken depth
Although you have guides as you search for a path
They refuse to do it for you that brings up your wrath
Passing through a needles eye
Fills you with awe and a deep sigh
When you invest in discovering self
Can’t let it be measured by anyone else
The journey takes as long as it takes
A toll is learning where you break
Just when you think it will never fit
When the pain and struggle makes you want to quit
You’re glowing alive and feeling pink
It all fits together and aligns with a wink
For those struggling why must I search
Trust me I promise you’ll find the right perch
It all aligns in night’s sky a su wen
Listen your own voice will tell you when
What sense of integration do you feel in your life?
Do you have a sense of what’s currently missing?
How does a lack of integration detract from your life?
What shift or action needs to happen for you to feel a sense of integration?
What first steps might you take? How might integration contribute to your life?

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.
