Truth
This moment I can embrace
My life might be disgrace
Lost connection to things real
No longer know what I feel
Pontificating like I know
Deep inside feeling low
This charade not forever
Need for ballast anchor tether
Here crying inside
Denying sadness false pride
Heavy heart
Time ticking for new start
Circle of life a wheel
Opportunity sense and feel
Part of the journey rise from muck
Again and again out of stuck
One thing certain in life
You will be tested with strife
Not whether sadness or difficulty befalls
Can you resiliently answer calls
When down use your head
Chose life no staying in bed
Treats follow patience never hate
Be sad when not feeling great
When fearful and desperate how do you talk to yourself?
Can you embrace the situation as temporary?
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.
