“The measure of our courage is the measure of our willingness to embrace disappointment, to turn towards it rather than away, the understanding that every real conversation of life involves having our hearts broken somewhere along the way and that there is no sincere path we can follow where we will not be fully and immeasurably let down and brought to earth, and where what initially looks like a betrayal, eventually puts real ground under our feet.”
–David Whyte, Consolations
Selections for this week come from David Whyte’s book, Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words (Langley WA: Many Rivers Press, 2018).
