The Poetry of David Whyte

Poetry is the experience. Great poetry is timeless, it crosses all cultures, and it speaks to that longing that we all have in common. -- David Whyte. Poetry is often the art of overhearing yourself, saying things you didn't know you knew. We need to overhear the tiny but very consequential things we say that reveal ourselves to ourselves. We are desperate for a sense of belonging, a moment of eternity. Belonging is the ability to live in the world without fear. Belonging is belonging to oneself. Can we be people whose belonging is stronger than our fear?
