Good morning! It’s Monday. Since many of us are just waking up, I propose that we read a particularly fitting poem together. It’s called “What to Remember When Waking,” by David Whyte. Consider it a rather beautiful set of instructions for your day.
Beautiful poem! It's so important to spend a little quiet time upon waking, to bring where you came from into your day, before the busy mind kicks in. Thank you, Clara!
What a wonderful thought, I'm printing this and putting it by my bed.
I love David Whyte. Thank you.
Lovely
Lovely sentiment
“You are not a troubled guest on this earth … you were invited”
I needed to hear this today
Thank you
What an amazing poem! Thank you for introducing us to this poet. I will present this next Monday at my poetry reading club here in Virginia.
That took my breath away it was so beautiful. ❤️
I was not familiar at all with the poet or the poem. Thank you for sharing it with us, Clara. Very much worth re-reading and meditating on ...
"What shape waits in the seed of you
to grow and spread its branches
against a future sky?"
What shape waits in the seed of you
to grow and spread its branches
against a future sky?
There is so much potential in that question. ❤🌞
Beautiful poem! It's so important to spend a little quiet time upon waking, to bring where you came from into your day, before the busy mind kicks in. Thank you, Clara!
“In the open and lovely white page...”
Never heard of David Whyte before but loved this and the view out of your beautiful window.
Another lovely window to the morning. Waking up!
Thank you Clara.💖😌
Perfect start to the week. Thank you.
Really good this morning! Thank you.
