    spiritual poetry
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2008*

David Whyte is the author and poet of the soul, of the deep searching place within and of the wondering being.He refers with such modesty to the incredible work of others, and for that you get to know of poets and poems that you weren't familiar with before or at least  did not recognize them untill seeing  them in light of what he refers to.Like a true teacher, he helps you to dare to do what you already had within you. Like a genuine guide, he leads you to the realms you had unconsciously and conveniently forgotten or overlooked.David Whyte's writings are very deep and beautiful. But,when he speaks his expressions, his words could be more touching if he did not repeat himself over and over.Somethings get imprinted in your mind (not heart) forever because you've heard them repeatedly but memorizing is different from feeling.It is like someone holding a flower in front of you and insisting upon your looking at it, it is like each time you turn your face away, they bring you back to the flower(over and over). Yes, you'd remember the flower, its color, dimensions, fragrance and so on. But maybe it is when you are just passing by the flower and you intuitively/unknowingly turn around to look back and see the flower again because you wanted to because something touched you , is the moment that you are naturally receptive to the flower.Of course it matters how someone speaks, what words s/he uses. how their tone of voice is, how and when they emphasize on a word, how they flow as they speak and how sincere they are. David Whyte is  excellent on all the above. If only he would give space to his listeners to absorb what he just read/said at their own pace.  Words  touch different people in different ways.All that said, this audiotape is very rich. It fills your backpack with amazement and inspiration on your personal journey through the Great Unknown.

    OUTSTANDING insights & inspiration for living a more centered, authentic & powerful life at any age
  

*by Y***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2007*

I wish the "midlife" reference were not in the title as it made me hesitate and delay trying this product for way too long.  It is such an exquisite treat and so powerful in way more ways than I can convey through words.  David Whyte's uniquely powerful delivery adds further punch to his great insights that reach ever deeper the more one listens.  Thus I found it amazing the first time I listened and  keep being blown away by finding it ever more powerful every time I listen.  In addition to the content, the place David Whyte speaks from is itself profoundly impactful.  At the time I ended up deciding to buy this product I had greatly lamented Amazon not selling David Whyte's "poetry of self-compassion" as I had adored that tape.  Although I still regret not having yet been able to find it on CD as it is even more powerful yet, I am so glad that it ended up pushing me into giving this product a try as both are invaluable and well worth owning and repeatedly listening to over the years as special treats that get ever better over time.

    David Whyte...the power of poetry.
  

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015*

David Whyte is worth listening to again and again. I never fail to learn something new when listening to this audiobook - which is better than the book I'm my opinion because he seems to read his material the way he meant it to be heard.I return to this book at certain times in my life and will find new meaning in the old and mundane and learn things that didn't catch my attention before.Because of David Whyte I have begun to memorize poety - not only his poetry but others he mentions like Rilke or Mary Oliver.The thing is that all of these new age or self development books have the same message when you get to the bottom of it all. You just have to find the one that speaks to your soul.
