In this series, we combine immersive first-person stories and breathtaking music with the science-backed benefits of mindfulness practice. Sharing stories of truths that are both ethereal and yet wholly grounded in the wisdom of the land and its people. In today’s Meditative Story, David shares experiences from a magical time when he lived in the Welsh mountains, when he was just coming into his own as a poet. Poetry, he says, is “language against which we have no defenses.” He is the author of 10 poetry collections, as well as celebrated nonfiction addressing the transformative nature of work, heartbreak, and identity. ROHAN GUNATILLAKE: As a poet, David Whyte uses words to bring light to our deepest human feelings and impulses. And this invisible help is one day suddenly made visible right outside of my caravan.
And other times you actually recognize it. Sometimes that help appears and you walk right past it. Invisible help is the help that you do not as yet know you need. I need help, I remember saying I need help.
I am having a really difficult time and feeling very, very sorry for this young man who wants to become a writer. I am not easy on myself beneath that wind. DAVID WHYTE: There are many winter nights when the wind comes up the Ogwen Valley below and threatens to blow my caravan away.
