David Whyte Quotes

Vulnerability Is Not A Weakness, A Passing Indisposition, Or Something We Can Arrange To Do Without. Vulnerability Is Not A Choice. Vulnerability Is The Underlying, Ever-present, And Abiding Undercurrent Of Our Natural State. To Run From Vulnerability Is To Run From The Essence Of Our Nature. The Attempt To Be Invulnerable Is The Vain Attempt To Become Something We Are Not, And Most Especially, To Close Off Our Understanding Of The Grief Of Others. More Seriously, In Refusing Our Vulnerability, We Refuse The Help Needed At Every Turn Of Our Existence And Immobilize The Essential Title And Conversational Foundations Of Our Identity.
