Otherness in the World

“we have so many allies in this world, including just the color blue in the sky,”― David Whyte

“Life can find you only if you are paying real attention to something other than you own concerns, if you can hear and see the essence of otherness in the world, if you can treat the world as if it is not just a backdrop to your own journey, if you can have a relationship with the world that isn’t based on triumphing over it or complaining about it.”― David Whyte, The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self and Relationship

Attention and reverence.
Beauty and peace.
Grace and light.
Love and gratitude.
Enter into the conversation, dance, communion.
Find and be found.

“Love is the conversation between possible, searing disappointment and a profoundly imagined sense of arrival and fulfillment; how we shape that conversation is the touchstone of our ability to love in the real inhabited world.”― David Whyte
