“Sometimes” by David Whyte
Take a breath. Take a moment. Here’s a poem by David Whyte with questions for you…
SOMETIMES
Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest
breathing
like the ones
in the old stories
who could cross
a shimmering bed of dry leaves
without a sound,
you come
to a place
whose only task
is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening requests
conceived out of nowhere
but in this place
beginning to lead everywhere.
Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and
to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,
questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,
questions
that have patiently
waited for you,
questions
that have no right
to go away.
~ David Whyte ~
(Everything is Waiting for You)
Now is the time to invest in yourself, to stop and take a look at your life’s options, to stop and hear the questions “that can make or unmake a life.”
So let’s do it - together. 2009 Fall classes begin in August. Catch early bird rates while you can. And kindly spread the word - tell a friend, tell a colleague!
- Workshop I “Your Life Is Your Art: You Are the Artist!”
- Workshop II “The Power of Your Story: When You’re Ready to Re-Story Your Life”
For information about classes, the facilitator and registration details, go to www.yourlifeisyourart.com
I look forward to being with you,

No commentsA New Shade of Red - Almost
I sat down to write my first post of the year and find I am too pooped to write another word after spending way too much time on my new website, YourLifeIsYourArt.com. It did feel good to show up at the page though, so that, to me, is progress. When I do write, it will be about a new shade of red.
Instead of a drum roll for my first post, I’ll ask for your patience. Time for a rest. Can you handle that?
