Truth
Can you face
A life of disgrace
Lost connection to things real
No longer know what to feel
Crowing like I know
Inside feeling low
A charade not forever
Need ballast anchor tether
Here crying inside
Deny sadness with false pride
Heavy heart
Time for new start
Circle of life a wheel
Opportunity to sense feel
Part of journey rise from muck
Extracted from being stuck
One thing certain in life
You’ll be tested by the strife
No question sadness difficulty
Can your answer with resiliency
When down use your head
Chose life not the bed
Sad when not feeling great
Reward patience without hate
When fearful and desperate what’s your self-talk?
Can you embrace your state as a learning for 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.
