Book: Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words
This is a wonderful book to have by your bedside. It is divided by topics such as anger, beauty, friendship and heartbreak - just to name a few.
The author, David Whyte, writes about these things that have been in the core of the human experience throughout the times. And what a good job he does in representing all of us. I guess that's the uniqueness of a writer - the ability of putting words together that evoke the commonness between all of us.
The only choice we have as we mature is how we inhabit our vulnerability, how we become larger and more courageous and more compassionate through our intimacy with disappearance, our choice is to inhabit vulnerability as generous citizens of loss, robustly and fully, or conversely, as misers and complainers, reluctant and fearful, always at the gates of existence, but never bravely and completely attempting to enter, never wanting to risk ourselves, never walking fully through the door.
