This essay was startlingly prophetic about the year that as yet lay ahead of me after its writing was completed. It is quite astounding how much we intuitively know about our unknown future even we cannot, or are afraid of, supplying the details! DW
Unknown, Tibetan singing bowl merges etheric and heart vibrations. We are drawn in to “anticipating” will the chord rise or fall, can we align our breath to the pulse? What we don’t know far out measures that which we imagine we know, which is ever evolving itself. Poetry delights us for both the unknown in the next line, and the sense of resonance in the following line.
Thank you. You have helped me describe one of the reasons I love David Whyte - that “anticipation” always followed bythat “delight” in his beautiful work
What always startles me is that you always startle me, David.
Since it is over 30 years since we first met at Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, and reunited at Baptist Hospital in Nashville you would think I would be so accustomed to your genius insights that they would no longer earthquake my soul.
But, they always do.
The funniest thing about breathing in the insights of “unknown“ today was the recollection that I had read it before !
Of course you signal in that phenomenon in your piece. As with everyone, I am not only changed by 30 years that passed, but would’ve been changed if I had read this every month.
That is the power of the density in your work - like seeing the movie “Casablanca” for the 20th and discovering something new every time through the eyes that have changed every day.
After you read my own book in 2003, Radical Loving Care (finally the best seller) you kindly wrote that I was “a beacon of light in American healthcare.”
If I am “a beacon” you are, I write fearlessly risking hyperbole, the sun. - Erie
Beautiful. Everything and everyone we need to know will be made known to us in the Silence. The key 🗝️ is to trust in perfect divine timing, keep your heart open and stay present with your breath.

This: "What we see and know as settled fact in our life right now is already growing and changing into something else"

Wow, need to dwell on these words for a while.
