Haiku 2021 Part 9, #62-66

-

 #62

Social media
connecting a globe of souls
electronic love

#63

Stop working, she thinks
save actions for tomorrow's
opportunity

#64

Just one more poem
and then I'll be all caught up
ebbs and flows be damned

#65

Teaching: inviting
loving conversation with
in and with others

#66

Knapsack on my back
eyes peeled, ears perked, rambling
long distances bound

What Coaching Provides

-
Coaching Life coaching supports people in creating unprecedented results in their lives.  This can be in any area of life: career, relationships, leadership, spirituality, finance, health, and creativity.  Ontological  coaching defined Ontology is the area of metaphysics that has to do with being.  What this means in our work together is that we address your goals and actions ( doing ) in the foreground, while attending to the impact of where you’re coming from in your life ( Being ) on your results. Role of the coach The role of the coach is to provide perspective and facilitate insight and action.  My strengths are providing that kind of perspective and support with energy, enthusiasm, and passion.  Also, if you find yourself saying “I want what she’s having!” that’s a great indicator that a coaching partnership could be for you.  Let’s talk and see if there’s a fit! Many of my clients seek powerful...

Happy Easter! This first poem by Guest is fittingly about rising above and persevering, and the second by me is a little love ditty. Wishing you renewal, hope, and love today and every day.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousa...

"Like Waves" (Sonnet LX) Choreography

LINK to the Video on YouTube This short (less than one minute!) choreography, "Like Waves," is an excerpt from my 2015 MFA in Dance thesis choreography “The Shrew Unleashed." The work was danced to poetry old and new, including an improvised collaboration, a slam poem, and some of Shakespeare's Sonnets. "Sonnet LX,” which we nicknamed the more descriptive “Like Waves," incorporates many themes, speaking of time, death, beauty, maturity, praise, and the ocean. This sonnet gives me the feeling of being resigned to an inevitable fate, in awe and powerless. Working collaboratively, the dancers chose to depict how “the waves make toward the pebbled shore,” rising, falling, turbulent, sustained, strong, bound and at times free, wringing and pressing with the tides. In order to dance the movements of the waves, this was performed as an ensemble, descending and ascending diagonals from upstage right to downstage left. Structurally it worked well to hav...
