We all experience sadness and other "negative" emotions at different times, yet when we do, we often feel very alone in it. This practice reminds us that we're not alone when we are in pain. If we have the courage to break the habitual pattern of pushing away the pain, we can experience deep compassion for ourselves and all beings.

The Inner Child Explained - Walk The Wu Wei #018

Excerpt from: Line 1 - The Investigator Personality, The Personality Profile Series: https://jovianarchive.lpages.co/the-6-personality-archetypes

Who You Think You Are - Your Personality Profile

Her name is synonymous with her fantastically best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love. But through the disorienting process of becoming a celebrity, Elizabeth Gilbert has also reflected deeply on the gift and challenge of inhabiting a creative life. Creativity, as she defines it, is about choosing curiosity over fear — not to be confused with the more familiar trope to "follow your passion,” but rather as something accessible to us all and good for our life together.

On Being with Krista Tippett 

Elizabeth Gilbert — Choosing Curiosity Over Fear

As the Coronavirus breaks the everyday routines of our lives and forces us to stop, how can we respond? In this conversation with poet and philosopher David Whyte, we explore the conversational nature of reality, the poetic imagination, and our relationship with silence and the invitation embedded within it. 

At times in our lives the conversation we have been in comes to an end and how we must embrace the unknown in order to find the new courageous conversation that wants to emerge. These are soul-making times that are inviting us to to listen deeply as we ask the question"who do we choose to be?".

David Whyte is a poet and philosopher and an associate fellow at Saïd
Business School at the University of Oxford. He is the author of The Heart
Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America
and Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of
Everyday Words, and The Bell and the Blackbird. His latest collection is
David Whyte: Essentials.
