David Whyte on love – romantic, familial, for work, for walking your path through life and for discovering who you are. And how much of our energies and our time we spend trying to arrange things so we wont get our heart broken, trying to remain immune...
“There is no path we can walk that will not take us through some form of heartbreak.And to accept that truth is to give a merciful gift to ourselves.”
“So often our hearts break because the love we offer—whether to a partner, a friend, a child, our work, or a place—is not returned to us in the same way.”
“Yet if we retreat from the experience of unrequited love, we miss the opportunity to discover the countless invisible ways that the world offers us its love in return, often unlooked for and unrecognized.”
