David Whyte, who brings poetry to corporations explores his experience of the "conversational nature of reality" in a recent Ted Talk.
He lyrically asserts that what we desire of the world and
what it desires of us will not happen as we would like because we tend to follow "three abiding manufactured illusions."
If we believe that "we can somehow construct a life in which we are not vulnerable, will not have our hearts broken and can plan enough and arrange things to see our path from end
to end" we are bound to miss the magic and the point.
Yet as we are willing to meet ourselves and people, places and things authentically, walk in presence fully grounded in our Being and in choice and release that which no longer serves, each step is revealed and we realize that we already are that which we seek.
