The Poet: David Whyte, “Sometimes”

“Sometimes”
“Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest
breathing like the ones
in the old stories
who could cross
a shimmering bed of dry leaves
without a sound,
you come to a place
whose only task
is to trouble you with tiny
but frightening requests
conceived out of nowhere
but in this place
beginning to lead everywhere.
Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and to stop what you
are becoming while you do it,
questions that can make
or unmake a life,
questions
that have patiently waited for you,
questions
that have no right to go away.”
- David Whyte,
”Everything is Waiting for You”
