Consolations The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words

SKU: 9781786897633
Author: David Whyte | Publisher: Canongate Books
In Consolations, David Whyte unpacks aspects of being human that many of us spend our lives trying vainly to avoid--loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, fear--boldly reinterpreting them, fully embracing their complexity, never shying away from paradox in his relentless search for meaning.

 

Beginning with 'Alone' and closing with 'Withdrawal', each piece in this life-affirming book is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling overwhelmed, and the desire to run away from it all. Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation.
