Haiku 2021 Part 46, #316-24

 #316

Hot tea with honey
and lemon, sweet elixir
bring me back to health

#317

Bullet journaling
present what's most important
focused log of life

#318

Happiness is just
Being. Not pursuit, chasing
pleasure, but presence.

#319

Feel more like myself
kicking that cold to the curb
reclaiming my health

#320

Hair buzzed, nails cut short
well-groomed for a brief escape
vacate the city

#321

Oh, hello there babe
yummy creature that you are
come tumble with me

#322

Confluentes, come 
together mixed influence
two rivers, Koblenz






#323

If you're here naptime
she won't play, here at playtime
she going be cray

#324 Lovingkindness

May all beings be
safe, be happy, be healthy
and live with ease

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...

National Poetry Month 2020 Day 5: “The Splendour Falls on Castle Walls” & “Lapping”

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. The Cambridge Singers and John Rutter sing it beautifully ( Apple iTunes/Music Link )   My imagination revels in the loveliness of this poem, it has such wonderful rhythm and evocative imagery for dance- making.  The Splendour Falls on Castle Walls Alfred, Lord Tennyson The splendour falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. 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...
