David Whyte Quotes About Desire

Quotes about: Desire

• Desire demands only a constant attention to the unknown gravitational field which surrounds us and from which we can recharge ourselves every moment, as if breathing from the atmosphere of possibility itself. A life’s work is not a series of stepping-stones onto which we calmly place our feet, but more like an ocean crossing where there is no path, only a heading, a direction, which, of itself, is in conversation with the elements.

• What we strive for
  in perfection
  is not what turns us
  into the lit angel
  we desire
  what disturbs
  and then nourishes
  has everything
  we need.

  David Whyte

  Inspirational, Angel, Perfection

• We sabotage our creative possibilities because the world revealed by our imagination may not fit well with the life we have taken so much trouble to construct over the years. Faced with the pain of that distance, the distance between desire and reality, we turn just for a moment and quickly busy ourselves.
