Truth
Now in this moment here I must face

My life on this planet might be a disgrace

I’ve lost the connection to things that are real

My ability compromised by denying what I feel

I sit here pontificating acting like I know

When deep down inside I feel very low

I know this charade cannot go on forever

I need greater ballast an anchor and a tether

So I sit here bawling crying deep inside

No longer can my sadness be denied out of pride

Here I am with heavy heart

Time for a brand new start

The circle of life is round like a wheel

The living opportunity to sense and feel

Part of the journey to rise from the muck

Time to get started out of the stuck

One thing is certain sure in this life

You will be tested you will have strife

It’s not whether sadness or difficulty befalls

It’s how you’re resilient and answer your calls

When you are down use your head

Choose to greet life refuse staying in bed

Life’s treats will arrive have patience don’t hate

Don’t be so sad when you’re not feeling great

When was the last time you felt a sense of fear and desperation?

Were you able to get through it? How?

How did you talk to yourself about what was going on?

Were you able to embrace it as temporary or did you see no way out?

What will you do next time?

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.
