Middle Time™:  Coaching for Wise Action

A Service of Attention

a new edge

There is a time in the life of a person or community… the time in the middle… where we come to an edge, where the success of the past no longer serves the needs of the present. We often experience this time as a time of being lost, confused, restless, or empty. People or communities stand at this new edge and choose: leap, fall back, dance open the still point…or…?

finding the story as the basis of wise action

Coaching for Wise Action is a service of attention to those navigating this uncertain terrain. At this edge, if we stay long enough we find the still point of our story. When we pay attention; find our true place; harvest our experience wholly; let go; name our limits and the limits of the world as well as the possibilities; forgive and find compassion; we begin to gather wisdom, and new actions emerge.

dreaming the world onward

We do this work in the context of our place and times. We live in troubled and yet exciting times. Our place, our planet, earth…our home… is troubled, too. This deeper context is our reference point in our mutual becoming as we dream the world onward.

Middle Time

at an edge

somewhere
in the silence of the dark
dry middle

between
Once Upon a Time
and
The End

There is a moment
where the arc of our story
pivots
on a still point

here

a belly breath holds us in place
our hearts fall open
our tears water our earth
a belly laugh shakes
something free

our feet find Home

we become
the dream
and our story flares forth
