‘You were more marvellous in your simple wish to find a way than the gilded rules of any destination you could reach.”
Beautiful
Sam Harris brought me to David Whyte. I’m so touched by his words. Really profound
Me too! I loved his poem Tilicho Lake years ago but forgot about his amazing ways of seeing reality. Then Sam Harris brought me back to him!
Touche! so much admiration for both!!
Same, found him through listening to Sam Harris.
Agreed
Same
David speaks with an honest eloquence that very few on earth can muster.
His poetry and commentary have helped me navigate this year. Thank you, David Whyte, for your well-learned practical wisdom to help me understand life’s marvels and heartaches in a modern world 🙏🏼
“The way forward, always in the end, the way that you came.”
Such a beautiful and eloquent statement.
Today is the first day of my life with David Whyte. I so very much look forward to sharing his conversations. It is rare for me to find someone who blows my mind to smithereens. The great irony is that what he says here is a truth I have been embracing for the last month or two. Is it synchronicity? Who knows? I have decided to embark on a journey of making short documentaries that are intended to be video poems. My intention is to invite the view of no view to presence.
i just came upon his poetry by accident (that's typical!) and i am so glad that i did; it has opened up a whole world of understanding and i look forward to more insights. thank you!
“We don’t have a choice about heartbreak, we only have a choice of having our hearts broken over people and things and projects that we deeply care about.” ~ David Whyte (14:50)
Related thing David has said elsewhere: "You cannot take any sincere path in life without getting your heart broken."
Exactly what I needed to hear. I'm so glad that I clicked on this one today. I regained strength to keep going despite the hard times.
Exquisite use of prose, wisdom and language.
I love when he repeats his phrases
The answer to the question about life, the universe and everything is in the current amount of likes to your remark

I was looking for a comment saying how annoying it is!
His repeat phrases are an invitation to slow down. We want to rush through the poetry so we get to the prize at the end. But, that's exactly what David blesses us not to do. The phrase repeating forces us to slow down and pay attention. And that's the gift his words invite us to.
If only
I have attended talks by David a few times. He takes us on the journey into life even in the darkness. He blesses us with his words.
And it costs €3 000 🥺
thats a choice u don't have to take @@christalimerick
This may be the finest TED talk I have seen. And I wouldn't have thought so from the title.
This is a gift for all humans!
This spoke straight to my heart!
I wish I could sound so cool when asking, "Yeah?.."
Speechless!
I love it!
I don't know how the perfect TED Talks land up in my notifications, but this is exactly the journey I need.
However, I am currently struggling to make something of my aspirations in life - to create. I think there's a lot of merit in realizing those goals, in the journey and the process. While the speaker does not discount that, I need something else to propel me towards a solution. Asking for help is important, I agree - lord knows guidance from others has allowed me to see the light. But I cannot stagnate and simply marvel at the beauty of thought, this desire, dwelling, and my "simple wish to find a way"; I need to express myself creatively to be happy, satisfied, and complete.

Golam Idrees Sorry?
You are still as good, if not better, than when we first met decades ago. Thank you for this conversation.
The Irish love to talk and I could listen to this man’s words forever……and a day
I have been a "fan" of David's for years, so insightful so leading into another life yet to be seen.
your children will break your heart, and it will hurt like no other heartbreak.
David Whyte - What an amazing person and speaker. His talks, and writings are always 'new'. His themes awaken new ways of seeing and living Life! Enjoy the comments.
This is very inspirational and very beautiful!
This just fixed my professional identity crisis
Great talk. If I may, in some shameful summary: "Don't worry. Keep on walking!" :)
extraordinary Poet and story teller
This dude is an adorably doting daddy lol awesome talk
beautiful beautiful beautiful
Brilliant. Deeply brilliant
Love this
Ahhh thank you David ... you take us on a journey beyond our own experiences and open it to beautiful possibilities; an invitation to the ones who have not the courage to explore what we see as not possible but innately feel our heart moved toward something yearned for and you introduce to us the nature of the conversational reality of ourselves our lives, to begin to deepen our presence to explore more in depth our relationship to others who may sense the predigested words we have assimilated as you generously offer up to we ,the hungry birds finding nutrients to digest, assimilating new possibilities to offer up to ourselves and to those we meet along our way.
My fellow weirdo. I love you so ♥️
We're not alone 🤣
Hello there, how are you doing. I would like us to be friends if it's OK with you kindly send me a friend request. Thanks.
I love this poem
Magnificent!
So good ❤
LOVE YOU DAVID, LOVE YOUR POEMS, ENDLESS THANKS....IN PEACE....XOX ...JM
Brilliant !
Best sermon I ever heard….teach not preaching……in your rags of love
I just fell in love
Gurl me tooooooooo
Thanks
Wow.....
Outstandingly insightful with a poetic touch for self acceptance!!
beliefless dogmasless Very funny! myself and yourself becomes ourselves having a comment on the existence of oneselves, isn't it real enough for you?
beliefless dogmasless Like you said if it's not real for you. Then don't bother about it. What you see and understand is not the same for anyone else. Trying to understand someone else is a waste of time. It will be best that you use that time to find yourself.
The quest for individuality is the only plausible objective yet psychic or spiritual truth for any human existence lest he or she becomes aware of it. A belief? the world you sensed is in your mind, everything you see is in your mind. Who are you but you to not know who you are. Maybe you still need to keep on searching a bit more...
beliefless dogmasless funny one! Just do what you want.. maybe you will find yourself in doing what you are most passionate about... We can only understand something or anything only after we have experienced it...which leads us to understand why we wanted in the first place...
beliefless dogmasless If you have already found what you sought then why question it? Are you not satisfied with what you found? This video has already provided some. Please do watch it again. A simple advice, just let go of what you know and learn it anew as it is being projected, so to understand in an abstract new way and to avoid contradictions and finally to promote change as it is meant to occur. It is the only universal truth.
Setting expectations will only ruin the outcome and certainly disappoints us. Though the wiser and experienced we get the more predictive our minds become which is quite annoying but very useful to latch to something we recognise and deem interesting to focus on until an omnidirectional perspective is observed. And in there, self acceptance comes in at every turn and every corner for each of us. Whether we do accept or not, will determine our thoughts to our behaviours to our relationships to our moral values & beliefs to our understanding of our own vulnerabilities to complete our unique individualism. Otherwise we'll be running into circles while our time comes to end eventually. Making it meaningful is not only our duty but also our purpose in this life.
I hope you see your awakening as the most blissful achievement there is. Good luck.
RESPECTS..
True
BRILIANT 🙏😍❣️🌹🐬🦋
The road goes ever on.......
its beautiful
I clicked the like button immediately after he recited Finnisterre
Cool
Can any master please further explain the last poem to me..? Would like to appreciate as much as many of you on here.
Yeah Sam brought me to David too
His speech before is much more helpful than the poem at the end.
it's both TOGETHER that make it so great - the prelude and context in which the poem was written and then the poem itself. Perhaps a lot more poetry could be presented like this!
" And the road stretching on."
He does that on purpose; much like his kin, Richard Burton. The Love of Language.
I thought that it´s Sylvester Stallone in the thumbnail.
Do you Stallone would make a movie on this subject?! Ha!
think that; hoy

"Talk of there life in 18 min or less" vid 20:16
I actually like this video, yeah. It was full of poetry and passion, yeah. The way he repeats phrases lets me know how what he's on about, yeah. I think his opinions on the nature of reality is good, yeah.
Sounds like I’m listening to the channel Paul Selig
do the poems actually say things twice or is he repeating them for effect?
If someone is born both deaf and blind, then what language are their thoughts in? Also the poems were very nice :)
henochian
Nooter they think in sign language
Nooter Thank's
So you know how people who succeed at something often hold their hands above their head in order to take up more space? did you also know that people born blind and deaf do this as well? they have never seen anyone do it, nor probably heard the phenomenon described, they have limited understanding of "filling up space" as they don't necessarily know how large they are in relation to other people, but still they do it? why?
TL;DR the deaf and blind definitely think in Norwegian
Read "Story of my life" by Helen Keller

Lead silver all perhaps boyfriend play bright imply complex
Rose Robertson your comment makes little sense to me. Can you explain please?
Hehe
lol 7th
Looks a bit like ego
The jokes killed the speech!!!!!!
It turns me off when people refer to themselves as "you", because you are talking about you not us.
First XD
