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

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....2022-08-2300 min

2022-05-2601 minOn Being with Krista Tippett[Unedited] David Whyte with Krista TippettIt has ever and always been true, David Whyte reminds us, that so much of human experience is a conversation between loss and celebration. This conversational nature of reality — indeed, this drama of vitality — is something we have all been shown, willing or unwilling, in these years. Many have turned to David Whyte for his gorgeous, life-giving poetry and his wisdom at the interplay of theology, psychology, and leadership — his insistence on the power of a beautiful question and of everyday words amidst the drama of work as well as the drama of life. The notion of “frontier” — inner frontiers, o...2022-05-261h 26
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...2022-05-0632 min
nourishthesoulThe Created and the Creator Ep2: The Summer Day by Mary Oliver/Unutterable Name by David WhyteNicole and Laura delve into the mesmerising poetry of Mary Oliver and David Whyte, poets that use the natural world as a starting point to invite us into greater contemplation into the bigger questions of life. Laura shares her first contact with Mary Oliver and how her words act as a soothing balm to the confusion that surrounds us. She delves into the beauty of Mary Oliver's defiance who herself did not identify herself explicitly with any specific religion but which speaks of her identity as an authentic artist who relentlessly questions the world as it is. This is...2022-04-2926 min

Wild with Sarah WilsonDAVID WHYTE: The insta-calm of poetry and asking beautiful questionsDavid Whyte is the guy who got me into poetry; Steven Spielberg has said the same of the Irish poet and philosopher who leads hiking/poetry tours around the world and works with Sam Harris on his meditation app.David trained as a marine biologist and was a naturalist guide in the Galapagos, the Amazon and Himalayas, before becoming a professional poet because, as I heard him explain once, the language of science wasn't largest enough to convey existence.Not long after I first read David's writing, I was at a cafe in a small town where my...2021-11-151h 04

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. ...2020-11-2355 min
