Haiku 2021 Part 17, #115-121

-

 #115

Direct focus, see Your object in space and aim
Going right for it

#116

Indirect, scanning
Among flexible foci
Roundabout array





#117

Ruffly pretty plumes raining pink petalled glory softly fluttering







#118

Intrepid, traveled objects have served well, seen, deserving esteem


#119

Scented erasers school supply and sticker stash secret Sanrio


#120

Concentrate, engage
Actively connect, convey,
Guiding attention


#121

Scattered, distracted,

Spaced-out of this world, detached,
Passive, unthinking

Announcing "Balletlicious with Blythe" YouTube Video Series, first installment "Ankle ABCs"

Balletlicious with Blythe Ankle ABCs DISCLAIMER: Although the exercises I recommend are suitable for dancers at a beginning through advanced level, and I do my best to keep things moderate and safe, please consult your healthcare practitioner before beginning any health or fitness regimen! The reason why I am creating this video series is that I am often asked “what can I do in-between classes to strengthen and stretch my body for ballet?” I also frequently hear that people have waited to start a class until they felt somehow fit enough to present themselves, as if they need to prepare for the class itself. With my classes, this is not the case as I provide appropriate accommodation for different levels of experience and physical states, but I understand the feeling. It makes me sad that sometimes people wait years or never start because they don’t feel ready. Also, it can be tough to feel “fit enough” even when we do attend a weekly course, especially if we must occasion...

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July! It's a day to celebrate our freedom and independence. I'm not saying that these United States are perfect, but we do have a lot to be grateful for. I often think of the liberties we enjoy here, in this age, that could easily be taken for granted. We get to decide where we live, what we do for work and play, what we wear, what we eat, who our friends and romantic partners are, how, when and if to have children, what religion, if any, to practice... and we have the freedom to make mistakes learn from them. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by all the choices we are free to make! It is such a blessing to have multiple appealing options in life, a treat to choose our favorite or what seems to be the best at the time, and make so many choices throughout our lives. I believe that with all these wonderful choices comes responsibility. Responsibility to consider the consequences of our actions for our future selves, for others, and for our planet. Happy o...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Poetry_Month The United States and Canada celebrate National Poetry month in April, and I really enjoy the tradition, so will be keeping it alive this month from Germany. Each day, I will be reading and writing poetry, and I’d like to share some of my favorite poems by other authors as well as be very vulnerable and share some of my own. I hope it will encourage you to engage in your own relationship with poetry. It’s really needed at this time and always.  Sound good? Cool, here we go.  The first poem I’ll share is from Robert Frost, who I particularly adored back in high school, ahem, a few years ago: Revelation By Robert Frost We make ourselves a place apart Behind light words that tease and flout, But oh, the agitated heart Till someone find us really out. ‘Tis pity if the case requires (Or so we say) that in the end We speak the literal to inspire The understanding of a friend. But so ...
