The Journey
"The Journey" is a spacious, tender and evocative setting of a brilliant poem by David Whyte. Penned to honor the courage of a dear friend who was leaving a long standing marriage, it evokes the emotions of any great life passage; with all that is left behind and all that is new. The imagery in opening lines were inspired by images of the Pacific Northwest where Whyte lives.

The Journey
Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again painting their black silhouettes on an open sky. Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that first, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out someone has written something new in the ashes of your life. You are not leaving. Even as the light fades quickly now, you are arriving.
