We do not even have time to find out if our momentum is taking us over the nearest cliff. - David Whyte

To quote a Shakespearean cliché, repeated to death because it is so stubbornly true: “All the world’s a stage.” Work is theater. The place where life unfolds to our tragic or comic satisfaction.

Poetry is the art of overhearing ourselves say things from which it is impossible to retreat.

To be disappointed is to reassess our self and our inner world, and to be called to the larger foundational reality that lies beyond any false self we had only projected upon the outer world.
