Re: the right to be reluctant - Years ago I had to learn this phrase from my therapist: “that doesn’t work for me.” It was an incredible tool when I repeated it in difficult relationships. It was as if I didn’t know I had the right to declare this.
I really enjoyed the point Thomas made about forcing oneself to be present versus understanding the intelligence in not being present. I took presence as a must for a very long time because all the spiritual teachings emphasize it. But as someone who had to dissociate at an early age due to childhood trauma, I made very little progress in my war against checking out of Life. it wasn't until I started to honor my dissociation for what it did for me and to ask for its understanding and permission, that I really began making headway in being more present. Even to just say "okay, checking out is now happening and that's fine."
I could listen to this flow of liquid words as they meander from one pool to another-filling one then going on to the other. Two of my favorite spiritual men, anchored in humanity.
and many of us are frozen from speaking out about the atrocities happening in war zones right now. Also the child who is frozen that can not speak about their pain due to family dynamics. Feeling so much Love from listening to this wonderful interview.
I had the good fortune to see David Whyte in California many years ago live and being in the room with him I could feel his high spiritual energy and his transmitting that to all that were there. I felt happy and so grateful to be sharing the space.
Thank you, Thomas, for reminding us that when a person in overwhelmed (lost in an avalanche) the healthy response of community is to go find them. Problem is so many of us were lost and no one looked, so we then didn't know to look or how, if we had the impulse; the instinct. My own father knew there was something very wrong when I was quite mute as a child but couldn't seem to reconcile how I got there, and his part in it. It becomes such a mess. Thank you for being patient and willing enough to unravel the knots of yarn. ❤
“Our only path is to get our heart broken by something we really care about.” This and so much of the conversation moved me. The point about losing young people to video games- we have so many soporifics nowadays. And yet the totality of that immersive world! I can stop scrolling to notice the patch of blue in the sky, and yes, I recognize that I chose to pick up my phone, though I didn’t control for how long. And that’s not ideal, and we are seeing some pushback against this neurohijacking with school boards filing lawsuits. Anyway, I needed to hear your talk today. I am so grateful to both of you and your incredible mothers.
Dearest Thomas - I heard you say that your mother passed away just a week prior to this. I so hope that you are taking space and time to honor the grief of that huge passage. So much love to your, Dear Thomas, as you transit this huge passage.
An amazing talk of such profound depth like an ocean and reaching to the furthest outskirts of the soul. Thank you both for this wonderful gift of connectedness
Wow ,that's so beautiful the farewell letter. Thank you, it sure reassures us all about our gone mothers and fathers. Reminding us of how to carry on the torch of love and care . Thank you both .
Beautiful time spent listening to these beautiful men. Thank you both. Lots of moments to think about and feel through. Love, love, love you thoughts and poetry 💯‼️♥️
not the exact words not knowing the rhythm of the song in the following poem but, am remembering this: RELUCTANCE by, Robert Frrost...When was it ever-less than a treason ...to go with the drift of things to yeild with a grace to reason ....to bow and accept the end of a love...the end of a seaso
To listen his kind words from the wisdoom of the call of the black bird reminds me at the Poem from Hermann Hesse: Manchmal, wenn ein Vogel ruft oder ein Wind geht in den Zweigen oder ein Hund bellt im fernsten Gehöft, dann muß ich lange lauschen und schweigen. Meine Seele flieht zurück, bis wo vor tausend vergessenen Jahren der Vogel und der wehende Wind mir ähnlich und meine Brüder waren. Meine Seele wird Baum und ein Tier und ein Wolkenweben. Verwandelt und fremd kehrt sie zurück und fragt mich. Wie soll ich Antwort geben?

What a beautiful conversation, what a flow! I laugh, I cry, I get quiet, I listen, I settle... and I'm moved 🙇♀️

The cup runneth over! I know I will listen to this again and again. Give yourself this ‘gift’.

Profound exploration of much unspoken. I’m going back, digesting each conversation one nibble at a time. So much gratitude ♥️

Such a beautiful example of holding and honoring of your mothers passing in community, in relationship. ❤

It was truly delightful to encounter existential insights expressed so beautifully through the poetic lens.
I am changed forever. Thank you. ❤

Is the Collective Witness perhaps the presence of the vibrational dimension that is the Christ Consciousness? This is an exquisite conversation 🙏🏻❤️

Love this interview ❤

Manchmal, wenn ein Vogel ruft
oder ein Wind geht in den Zweigen
oder ein Hund bellt im fernsten Gehöft,
dann muß ich lange lauschen und schweigen.
Meine Seele flieht zurück,
bis wo vor tausend vergessenen Jahren
der Vogel und der wehende Wind
mir ähnlich und meine Brüder waren.
Meine Seele wird Baum
und ein Tier und ein Wolkenweben.
Verwandelt und fremd kehrt sie zurück
und fragt mich. Wie soll ich Antwort geben?
