In this short video, poet David Whyte takes listeners on a journey into the nature and practice of the imagination. For David, while we ordinarily think of the imagination as the ability to think up new things, the poetic tradition sees the imagination as the ability in each of us to form a central image which provides a container for our own belonging. As we explore this image – and as it unfolds within us – we come to discover our innate aliveness.
David is the author of three inspiring audio learning programs with Sounds True:
When the Heart Breaks: A Journey Through Requited and Unrequited Love
Clear Mind, Wild Heart: Finding Clarity and Courage through Poetry
What to Remember When Waking: The Disciplines of an Everyday Life
