Haiku 2021 Part 30, #206-12

-

 #206

Monogamy, one
sole primary partner, heart
committed in love

#207

Restless the body
cannot heal itself or learn
just freeze, fight, or flee

#208

Who is observer-
of my life, of yours witness
to all unfolding

#209

so, no tsunami
again, whew, summer storms brew
disaster season

#210

Imagination
vividly depict the scene
fantasy engaged

#211

Nectarine juice drips
blush down my wrists, sweet sour slurp
plump ripe perfection

#212

Mate on the sill
searing sun, cloud, raindrops fall
camp chair paradise

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...

One more Shakespeare sonnet today, the one I nicknamed “Roses Have Thorns” during my MFA thesis work. That guy really understood relationships! Sonnet XXXV (35)   By William Shakespeare No more be grieved at that which thou hast done: Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud. All men make faults, and even I in this, Authorizing thy trespass with compare, Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense-- Thy adverse party is thy advocate-- And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: Such civil war is in my love and hate That I an accessary needs must be To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me. Speaking of relationships going sour, here are some lines I wrote on the same topic some time ago. Getting Through By Blythe Stephens I’m doing what I need to do To get through How dare you Disresp...

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. It Couldn’t Be Done By Edgar Albert Guest Somebody said that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done and he did it! Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that; At least no one ever has done it;” But he took off his coat and he took off his hat And the first thing we knew he’d begun it. 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...
