Yeay! Good morning everyone 🙂
Yesterday I shared a poem by David Whyte (I follow him on Facebook) complete with a lovely scenery. That post sparked a conversation with a friend from Canada who introduced me years ago to his favorite poets like Mark Nepo, David Whyte, John O’Donohue and others but I already forgot their names. I was surprised to know between our conversations that Whyte and O’Donohue were friends in real life. The latter was a priest, hence his poems have heavy spiritual leanings. He died in 2008. Such a loss of young and gifted life. I don’t have any of his books but I browsed his website put up by his brother. I also found excerpts of his poems in another site and copied some.
May you be inspired by all these lovely words. One of these days, I’m gonna find even one of his book of poems. There are several on the web but they cost a lot.

He is right about the silences. They always have more meaning than the words.
Best wishes, Pete.

I do agree Pete. Sometimes, silence speaks volumes too. One of my tags and categories are the words “silence speaks”.

I didn’t realize David Whyte had a Facebook page. Thanks for that. As for O”Donahue, he is quite popular among my friends at church. I am glad you know his work also.
