Musing…
Our fine-essence is held in the seed of
our being…we simply need to draw it forth, to finesse the largess of our
potential.
Ira Progoff, author of At a Journal Workshop, uses the metaphor of an acorn:
“. . . what is involved is a sense of the largeness of a human person. The unconscious is not so much the part of the psyche that has been repressed, the unconscious is not so much our past experience, as it is that part of the human being that has not yet been experienced, just as an acorn contains in its unconscious the dream of the oak tree and that dream expresses the coming into being of the oak tree. That means that working with a person, we have to have a method of drawing forth what is in the seed, the still unlived potentials of the person (ed.).”
Kate’s Turn:
Finesse is a term I’ve learned in the card game of Bridge. Simply put, it is a strategy used to tease
out the location of the power cards. This applies in coaching as well – we want the refinement of ones
essence to be manifested; we use “power questions” to tease out the unlived
potentials, to draw forth what lies in the seed of their being. This is my current power
question: “What is the
most compelling, beautiful work I’m capable of creating at this point in my
life?”
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared
to what lies within us.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Get Fired Up:
What is your dream that expresses the coming-into-being
of your seed destiny? What is your power question?
