After over 25 years of working with people, and attempting to help
them, as a psychotherapist, trainer, and teacher, I have not only
walked through the joys and struggles of my own life experiences,
and those of family and friends, but I have had the benefits and
privilege of learning and living vicariously, while listening to
untold hours with literally thousands of clients during their own
struggling and searching. I have been encouraged by and privileged
to watch the healing, growth, and transcendence from life's
struggles of thousands of people, and I have felt pain and sadness
in witnessing the deterioration, resistance and self-destruction of
countless others. I have come to believe that the primary
determining factor of whether one experiences transcendence or
deterioration is a determined willingness to go through the
struggles, and to develop an attitude: "...that looks courageously
into the eye of the storm, and says assuredly: 'You will not break
me...'"
These poems are captured moments of my own experiences, and
reflections on the journeys of others, as we have separately and
together enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, while sometimes
weathering the storms in between. May these poems help you better
understand yourself and your fellow travelers, and no matter how
difficult or deep your own abyss of darkness, may you always find

THE RHYTHM OF LIFE
Today could not have been
Without yesterday's haunting wind,
Blowing by and changing my life,
Stirring up realities and other sundry strife.
The happenings of this hour
Would rightfully have no power,
Without the joys and pains of past,
Shaping and creating me at last.
Had even one conversation been altered,
Or one person or event faltered,
This moment in which I now breathe
Would not now be, as is, conceived.
There is a Great Choreographer, somewhere,
someplace,
Who orchestrates my moves and your every pace,
Matching our steps in infinite, perfect time;
Then, this dance, once confusing starts to rhyme...
