Sublime
Internal voices quiet serene
All of the longing has become liquid dream
Quiet clear no fretting or fuss
All of your “they” became part of your “us”
Everyone has what they need in their hand
Life can be idyllic but surely not bland
Education and arts health housing too
Whatever your needs taken care of for you
Political borders all kinds erased
No matter ethnicity religion or race
Using all we know gives security to all
Whatever your dreams follow their call
Compassion helps end criminality
Wisdom is mania’s release with finality
Systems in place to fulfill all needs
Life’s motivation art and good deeds
All of the things you worry about
Crimes that make you scream and shout
People you fear for in some way
All given the gift of their sense of play
Can this be done in your lifetime or mine
Can we give up power for a world that’s sublime
It’s all here we have more than each of us needs
Technology education distribution that feeds
This is not idle dreaming all we need is a plan
It starts with each person each woman and man
Everyone cherishing this vision’s possibility and worth
We could all go to heaven right here on earth
Have you ever wondered if we have the resources on planet earth to take care of all sentient creatures?
Do you think we have a resource or distribution challenge?
What stands in the way of creating a culture in which every sentient creature has their needs taken care of?
What might you do to make this dream a reality?

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.
