The Everyday Art of Saying Hello or Saying Goodbye

About this Series

A Matter of Life and Death: The Everyday Art of Saying Hello or Saying Goodbye

A Matter of life and Death is a title that allows me the excuse to work with all the things that are so important to us, but that often lie beneath the immobility of our every day habits and little addictions, waiting to be touched, brought to life and then brought out into a waiting world. One of the most difficult gifts a human being can give themselves is the self-permission to pursue a life they have intuited might be possible for themselves, but where they have not dared to grant themselves a real beginning.

 

With just a little courage, and with just a little willingness to die a tiny bit everyday from our present lives we can start to uncover the as yet hidden place from which we can begin.

Underneath the constant busyness, the refusals to hear the call: underneath all of our often misplaced priorities, beyond the boredom that arises from our operating on automatic, each of us has a ground onto which we can step and from which we can step into a new adventure.

But no matter our grand designs or far-off goals, the ability to bring our gifts to light is often dependent on the subtle, everyday art and practice of saying hello and saying goodbye in the crucial, often life changing moments of our every day. Join David Whyte for Three Sundays in November to look at the way we can practice that every day art and find a way into a future we might have only secretly desired.
