When you haven't been introduced to the joys and treasures of silence earlier in your lives, you actually start to see it as the enemy, because actually it is the enemy to your established identity.
What happens when poetry meets introspection? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with poet and author David Whyte to explore the rich tapestry of human experience through the lens of poetry and prose. David, known for his profound works and leadership in the Many Rivers Organization and Invitas, shares insights from his latest collection, *Still Possible*, as well as some of his older poems.
They dive into themes like the metaphor of doorways as both barriers and openings in our lives, the concept of 'beautiful forgetting', and how depression can manifest as a form of stuckness. David's reflections on how invitational we are to others in our lives, and his unique perspective on the 'three marriages'—work, self, and other—offer listeners a fresh framework for understanding relationships and personal growth.
If you're curious about how silence and vulnerability can transform your life, this episode is a must-listen. David's words inspire a deeper appreciation for the quiet moments that shape our existence. Tune in for a conversation that blends poetic beauty with practical wisdom, and discover how embracing silence can lead to personal transformation.
