David Whyte on The Art of Poetry and Prose

The One You Feed

NOTE

Awakening is Not Freedom From Feeling Things

Prose is about something, poetry is the thing itself, and theology is about direct seeing./nAwakening is not freedom from feeling things, it's freedom to feel things./nFeeling everything fully allows transformation./nDepression can be a form of stuckness and self-reinforcing./nDirect perception leads to the invitational nature of reality./nEnlightenment is a mutual acceptance of the invitation of being hospitable./nQuestioning how invitational one is to others is important./nThe doorway is the bridge between the spoken and unspoken, between our world and the hidden place of giving our gifts.
