Summertime is for daydreaming.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I am not in the habit of doing so and I\u2019m not especially capable of managing a simultaneous light study of more than one book, but, for several reasons linked to my recent month of yoga training in India, a number of books came up for me as \u2018have to read\u2019 next. I started reading, rotating books after a chapter and was really enjoying the dynamism when I started to feel a links in the flow of non-fiction pluralism. Perhaps because the books I chose had an Eastern theme, it came to me to write haikus for the notes that I was taking and see if the flowing connection was real. My haikus transformed the notes into syllabic pearls of useful code and I thought, hey this is in fact an interesting bibliotherapeutic intervention of sorts that I would now like to share with you all.<\/p>\n<p>What you read next are five haikus that sprung forth over the last few weeks of offseason summer reading. Perhaps you will see the flow of ideas coming together in the reflective experience of texts. The texts from which they are inspired are listed below. For fun, see whether you can match the haiku to its inspiration. I hope your summer reading has been delightful my fellow Canadian counselors and psychotherapists! When the summer holidaying is done I wish you a fresh return to the good work that you aspire to do as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The heart gambles and<\/p>\n<p>Is non-calculating while<\/p>\n<p>dreaming, it plants seeds<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Under conundrums<\/p>\n<p>What is Real mirrors that<\/p>\n<p>Which is absolute<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our deficiencies<\/p>\n<p>Are partly the making of<\/p>\n<p>Our wanting \u2018likes\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love alive deeper<\/p>\n<p>Meaning in the inner self<\/p>\n<p>Where there is no gas<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How avoiding of<\/p>\n<p>the simple fact, powerful<\/p>\n<p>Is the Fear of death,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Inspiring texts: <u>If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him!<\/u>, ancient India\u2019s <u>The Upanishads<\/u>, Victor Frankl\u2019s <u>Man\u2019s Search for Meaning<\/u>, the unprecedented work of transpersonal psychiatrist Brian Weiss\u2019 <u>Many Lives, Many Masters<\/u> and Osho\u2019s <u>Courage, The Joy to Live Dangerously.<\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the summer is making headway and the reading that we are doing in the wonderful downtime up at the cottage by the lake or flaked out on the couch at night by the warm lamplight, is giving way to new learning, something novel, or a rediscovery of the insights of the wise men and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001030,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[945],"tags":[1117,1427,25,186,1426,1428,87,238],"class_list":["post-7044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spiritualandreligousbeliefs","tag-barry-dsouza","tag-book","tag-counselling","tag-india","tag-kaiku","tag-poetry","tag-psychotherapy","tag-writing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
