“ The Teacher” will be featured in this signature collection of personal stories and folk tales to touch the heart, speak to the soul, and tickle the funny bone. With a poets insight into the landscape of the soul, he offers a deeply moving exploration of how we experience love and loss, and how with resilience and time we can rise again each time we are broken. Join me to explore love in all its forms in my upcoming debut SOLO storytelling performance “Legacy of Love.” Friday, August 25th, 2017, 7pm-8:30pm. On When the Heart Breaks, David Whyte invites you to join him in an investigation of a question that rests at the center of human experience. Upcoming Storytelling Performance: “Legacy of Love” Loving fiercely is one of the categories that I explore in my upcoming performance.
All he was told was the conference theme was the biblical passage where Jesus comes to the disciples walking on the water and calls them to step out of the boat. He provides the roadmap to facing the challenge of finding the courage to love … and love fiercely. Poet David Whyte was invited to speak at a conference led by the Sisters of Mercy in Galveston, Texas. Read the full poem at the end of this post. Later in the poem, he describes the transition to risking the vulnerability of love. My poem describes the the receiving end of that love, but David Whyte describes the giving of that fierce love.
I can’t remember if I had read his poem before I wrote mine, but the themes are universal. and immediately captivate me because of my own poem, Loving Fiercely. The above words open David Whyte’s poem, TRUELOVE.
The poet and philosopher, David Whyte, captures the unseen territory in our lives with the inspiring landscapes of his words.
