Poem of the Month: October 2005

 

The Journey Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again painting their black silhouettes on an open sky. Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out someone has written something new in the ashes of your life. You are not leaving you are arriving. - David Whyte, from The House of Belonging Journal prompts: As we head into autumn, reflect on the rhythms of your life. What is leaving? What is arriving? What is the "something new" that is being written in the ashes? What is the "one line/ already written/ inside you"? Begin, "The small, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in my own heart...."
