DAVID WHYTE CONTINUES MY THOUGHT

I came across this after writing last week on reflections and thought I would add to the thoughts of last week by passing this on right from David Whyte's website.  For more of his work, the link should take you to his page…  I woke early to the rain and wind, making me remember how big the world is.  Happy Friday!             Misty

David Whyte CROSSING THE FLOOD …Looking into the waters of that flooding plain there was a sense  that I made some symmetry with the waiting world just by seeing and hearing and that I walked a frontier between an inward heaven and the great blue calling, bird filled, breathing we call a sky, and that I stood at the edge where two worlds extended both far away and close within, so that I raised my palms against the light to see that they were real and could hold the world between my careful palms, one horizon between two cradling skies, looking inward and outward, and astonished by the great everywhere both within and without like an invisible unspoken invitation radiating from where I stood, I saw everything given and everything taken from me, I saw the way I had come and the way I had promised to go, all in one movement as something I had become now and would be forever, the sheer generosity of being loved through loving: the miracle reflection of a twice blessed life. © David Whyte: Excerpted from CROSSING THE FLOOD February 2014 PHOTO © David Whyte 2014: Flooded Port Meadow: Oxford; England.
