The Curious Soul

A series on David Whyte's, "The Heart Aroused"

In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in a dark wood where the true way was wholly lost.

Over the course of the next eight weeks, I’ll be covering my takeaways from David Whyte’s, The Heart Aroused. I hope you’ll grab a copy and join along. I’ll discuss how it has applied to my own life and my search for purpose, meaning, and value, and how poetry can take the seemingly complicated and daunting, and reintroduce the thread of simplicity and beauty. This series will be open for discussion as well. Call it a book club of sorts, if you like. I’d love to hear your thoughts, if you choose to read along. This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive analysis as much as an opening of the door to discovery. I’ll publish the first article next Sunday. Feel free to join the discussion in the Substack chat.

Here is a link to purchase the book on Amazon. I hope you’ll follow along and join in the conversation.
