The Truelove by David Whyte

Poet and philosopher David Whyte reads his poem The Truelove. Through this reading we see how our own beliefs about what we think we deserve can limit us, and how daring to broaden our sense of what is possible can liberate us beyond what we can even imagine. It takes faith to acknowledge possibilities, to say yes to life and to love, to give ourselves permission to experience happiness.

Consider how your own beliefs about what is possible for you  have placed limitations on your ability to say yes to life and love. Give yourself permission to open to new possibilities.

David
That's David, not Peter, though Peter is a nice name too.
Portlin
The tone and faith, of course, but aslo the repeats. So beautifully read.
Thank you, Peter
Elena Marie
Ah… thank you with such divine affirmation of true love..having known and held the hand, slipped away as it has in death but the warmth and knowing remains… and now the bitter timeliness, having to say “no, you’re not”to someone else…
Margaret Thompson
The level of knowing and absolute certainty must be breathtaking.

I am inspired by D. Whyte's voice, diction, repeat delivery of line and inflection.
And I find his entry into the myth of walking on water and living, dying, change and LOVING is entered as a reality shared, however humble or expert we become on our path.
Kathleen
Such meaningful words and here for us to hear at a perfect time - on the almost eve of New Years 2022. Thank you David Whyte...Thank you Karma Tube.
Patrick Watters
Thank you David (and Service Space too of course) for this gifting us into a new year, and very different season and era.

The way he changed his voice to depict the different scenes and to hope everyone who needs it finds that hand .I myself took that hand
