Inside the conversation of contribution
my favorite place to dwell
walls like soft bubble gum that can expand
with the breath of new ideas
to watch you poke, prod, punch
a fist through the wall
on your face the surprised realization
of the awe-filled fluidity, stretched elastic
boundaries you once believed to be walls of stone.
How a soft blow, like cooling off your tea too hot
can open up a whole new room. High rounded ceilings
with space to grow into.

My favorite place to be is inside a coaching conversation listening for another’s dreams. This was a tough idea to capture in a photo. Photo Challenge: Favorite Place

I so see how this could be your favorite place to be, Ali. You would be an amazing coach, I’m sure of that. ❤ Sending so much Light and love to you, and to all of your clients. They are incredibly served. Great poem (love the bubble gum analogy).
Love,
Debbie

The photo looks so icy…I wonder if it’s really ice…
Like Kirsten said, ‘Inside the conversation of contribution’ I really like this line. It speaks to me of layers, like how they are many layers to a dream.

Mabel, the photo is indeed a close up of a broken bubble of ice.
There are many layers in conversations and that is why I find them fascinating. Thanks for your reflection. Be well my blogging friend.

Your first line did it for me. It could be a teacher’s motto.
