Wisdom
Present here now flowing serene
Calming art a focused light beam
Value we bring increased potential strong
Time to realization not so long
Time for expansion of work to abound
The value structure brings profound
On the verge of new partnership
Generating what emerges this blip
Willing to push from my end
Though that’s not been a great friend
Forcing production causes stress
Same time inducing restlessness
Good news I can reach the shore
Letting go of armor allows for more
With the struggle push and strive
Don’t know how I’ve stayed alive
Looking out for what is next
Thirty more years doing my best
I’ll not go out in flames aglow
I’ll die at night sharing what I know
The heart knows no place else to go
As smart as head it’s a pro
An organ for the next generation
Big body pump no hesitation
Where do you look for real wisdom, your head or your heart?
What is the qualitative difference?
Why do you trust one over the other?

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.
