Still possible

Still possible

It took you so long
to see the way
understanding rises
from the very centre
of your own body
everyday and luminous,
from arriving waves
of what only seems
like the ordinary.
+ David Whyte

Excerpt from Pilgrim Island from David’s new book Still Possible, which is published later this month. It can be pre-ordered from David Whyte/Many Rivers Press.

Clearly David Whyte's Camino pilgrimage (some of The Way shared with John O'Donough) continues to reverberate though his work. It can't be helped; much like we can't push the river.We just go. It's true: pilgrim, it's a long way to find out who you are.And when you do it is like coming home. With gratitude Sue Heatherington

    We have two ears and only one mouth...

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.
