David Whyte: Conversational Awareness
"There’s no self that will survive a real conversation,
there’s no self that will survive a real meeting with something other than itself,
there’s no organisation that will keep its original identity if its in the conversation,
after a while you realise
you don’t actually want to keep that old static identity,
you want to move the pivot of your presence
from this thing you think is you
into this meeting with the future,
with the people you serve, with your family, with your loved ones
and its in this self-forgetfulness where you meet something other than yourself
and all kinds of astonishing things happen " David Whyte
