Revelation
That day I saw beneath dark clouds
The passing light over the water
And I heard the voice of the world speak out
I knew then as I have before
Life is no passing memory of what has been
Nor the remaining pages of a great book
~Waiting to be read~
It is the opening of eyes long closed
It is the vision of far off things
Seen for the silence they hold
It is the heart after years of secret conversing
Speaking out loud in the clear air
It is Moses in the desert fallen to his knees
Before the lit bush
It is the man throwing away his shoes
As if to enter heaven and finding himself astonished
Opened at last
Fallen in love
With Solid Ground
~ David Whyte ~

i love these words.....you must know how much!
ReplyDeleteHi Noelle~ David Whyte just floored me! He had such conviction in his voice that it became my perspective as well. The images of Ian Munro are beautiful fantasies and ways of seeing our earth. Incredible post--thank you!
ReplyDeleteDavid Whyte is my guru. His repetition and use of entranement is much like that of a Baptist minister, very moving, more softly spoken ~ and the words he speaks have so much depth and truth, you cannot help but absorb them. He is a prophet in our time. MLK used similar skills. People know when they are hearing deep wisdom. As he says, people are hungry and "one good word is bread for a thousand." I love Ian's work as well, so lovely and rich.
