Counselling With CoachingSweet Darkness - poem by David WhyteWhen your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your home
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet

The ArgonautsBeauty: A Poem by David Whyte – Read by Tamsin JonesTamsin Jones recites David Whyte's poem 'Beauty'.
––
Beauty is
The harvest of presence, the evanescent moment of seeing or hearing on the outside what already lives far inside us; the eyes,
the ears or the imagination suddenly
become a bridge between the here and the there,
between then and now,
between the inside and the outside;
beauty is the conversation between what we think
is happening outside in the world
and what is just about to occur far inside us....

nourishthesoulThe Created and the Creator Ep3: Celestial Music by Louis Gluck/Second Sight by David WhyteNicole and Laura look through the eyes of faith as they examine the poetry of Louis Gluck and David Whyte. Where Gluck focusses on the struggle of the narrator with understanding her friend's faith, Whyte invites us to look at the "colours you have never seen before". To see with the eyes of faith entails not only glimpsing the light, but also the darkness, as Gluck invites us to consider the "unpleasantness" and the banality of tragedy. We are urged to watch in earnest, with eyes wide open, just as Whyte invites us to "see" the world as how...

GND Media"Kill the Corporation before it kills us!" Ecocide with Prof. David WhyteFor decades, we were told that individual action was the best way to tackle the climate crisis. If only we would stop using plastic bags and straws, while taking care to recycle, through behavioural change we could prevent climate change. Yet the rise of XR and the school climate strikers, and their clarion call “system change not climate change”, suggests climate breakdown is an economic crisis rather than a moral dilemma. To fight against climate change is to fight against capitalism. But if we want to fight the good fight, first we must understand how capitalism works. ...
