Haiku 2021 Part 15, #102-7

 #102 

Achtzehn, Klettenberg
fuenf Minuten mehr Sonne
Geniess den Fruehling

#103

Mensch von Moeglichkeit(en)
a magical person of
possibility

#104

Finally en route
waiting patiently, sort of
to get what I need

#105 (inspired by Virginia)

Isn't life always
so exciting? Make room for
positive to come

#106 (inspired by Quran 186)

I am near, answer
the call of the caller when
they call upon me

#107

Little flippy heart
remember how brave you are
beat strong, you got this!

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!

Sometimes, delightfully, my love of poetry and my love of dancing intercept. I’ll have more examples to share in the coming days, but here’s a poem that I used as inspiration to collaborate on a contemporary ballet dance with some of my advanced students at the Movement Center. This poem is published in the book Poems to Learn by Heart (an exquisite compilation by Caroline Kennedy ) along with a gorgeous watercolor illustration by Jon J. Muth.

Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying...

National Poetry Month 2020 Day 6: “Happy” & “Paperclips”

I was introduced to Michelle Tea in college and I liked her gritty, modern, real-world approach. Until then, most of the poetry I read was specifically for children or very traditional. Beautiful, insightful, but a bit fanciful. Here was a fresh voice, using language to describe city life and coming of age and stark reality. Happy By Michelle Tea I love this city Too many girls smile at me when I walk Down the street and there goes a jogger Wearing nothing but skimpy shorts 2 nipple rings And a smile and what about the one In the castro who only ever wears a g-string, All that skin and never any bruises, It’s as if people just leave him alone, Let him live his life with his ass hanging out. I love this city Everything you need you can buy on the sidewalk In the mission, that is, until the cops started coming By and handing out fines and if these guys could afford to pay a fine they probably wouldn’t be trying to sell you a  Set of cookware for...
