Technology
Magical gifts tools we invented
For menial tasks boredom prevented
Life easier in many ways
Medical technology airplane delays
Helps do what’s not easy to do
Instant research connection too
Information for democracy ignorance abated
Lacking information eradicated
Using tools caution in order
Stay mindful or be in hot water
First fairly simple Y2K taught us that
Reliance on a system can be a brat
Networks breakdown others sabotage
Stay awake or feel the barrage
Other fears darker insidious
Diluting human connection serious
Life source community energy exchange
Electricity of cells and flesh when interchanged
Remember when alone plugged into machine
Relegating connection to eros and dream
How do you use technology, how does it serve you? Do you
substitute your life online with personal connections?
Do you have “enough” face to face community?

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.
