I’m a lover of journals, beautiful empty books, books filled with quotes and scrawls and discoveries. Tonight I discovered a box I had covered with a cloth and then with a printer. I haven’t looked inside in about three years. I was in a bit of a cleaning mode and I opened it up to see what I’d stored inside. There were empty three ring notebooks, hand analysis notes, notebooks with acting games and about three gorgeous books filled with my musings and discoveries. I opened one of the notebooks and found notes from a workshop I attended with David Whyte in 2002. Reading his words made me OPEN again to what is real.
Let me share what has returned me to my heart and my breath tonight.
All of the following are spontaneous quotes from the wonderful poet David Whyte (http://www NULL.davidwhyte NULL.com) as he lectured on Saturday February 23, 2002:
“You have to say no to surface invitations so you can say yes to the Great Invitation.”
“Make a well of silence in your life from which you can drink.”
“Vulnerability is a fierce kind of discipline.”
“If you’re living right, as you get older, you get wilder. You should be an embarrassment to your children. There should be an outlaw edge to you.”
“A true revelation orphans you from your old home.”
“Articulate fully the things you love in the world.”
AND finally,
“Make radical simplifications.”
Let’s chew on all of that together.
Let me know which ones make your heart sing.
Big love to you all.

“A true revelation orphans you from your old home.”
“Make radical simplifications.”
Singing…:)
This one really made me feel good!
“If you’re living right, as you get older, you get wilder. You should be an embarrassment to your children. There should be an outlaw edge to you.”
And, this one resonated too…
“A true revelation orphans you from your old home.”
