Podcasts

David Whyte recites  his poem The Opening of Eyes No matter how much you like a particular song there are only so many times you can listen to it before it begins to grate a bit. I've found this to be true of the almost 2000 tracks on my iPod; they were OK for the first 30,000km of driving, but after that.. well... So lately I've made the switch to podcasts. It's wonderful to drive through some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet listening to some of the most interesting and intelligent and wise people on the planet. Richard Rohr, Robert Johnson and Father Thomas Keating have been profound of late, but the one who has really inspired and moved me is the English/American poet David Whyte. Perhaps it's because he is a fellow admirer of Meister Eckhart. Mostly its because he manages to wrap words around things I have been struggling to articulate for years now. Anyway, if you're interested, log into iTunes, search the podcast section and see what you can find.
