It ratcheted open my mind to a new perspective on the definitions of words like Ambition, Courage and Heartbreak, that I thought I previously understood.I’m not sure how to even begin to describe exactly what David does. On paper, he's an acclaimed poet, a writer, and a philosopher.  But to my mind, after having spent a magical week with him on the Irish Atlantic coastline on one of his poetry walking tours, I feel like he's a true elder with a deep philosophical curiosity and gift for weaving together our inner and outer worlds in what he calls 'the conversational nature of reality’.It’s a wide-ranging conversation, and towards the end, we cover some really interesting ground on the questions he believes we’re living our way into as a society and how childhood is the act of growing older whilst adulthood is the act of growing younger back into body back into our birthright visionary experience of the world.Official Links👋  Follow David on Twitter, Facebook or Youtube 📝   Read the full transcript (with my photos of Ireland) over on Medium🚶‍♂️  Apply for one of David's upcoming walking tours in Ireland, the Lake District, Tuscany & New Zealand👀  Watch David's TED Talk 'A lyrical bridge between past, present and future'🖥️  Find out everything else David is up to at davidwhyte.comConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier NewsletterEpisode Sponsors🩸 Inside Tracker — One of the things...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8LnCDGUuXqxSA-5IDWkKVmhsl8zrXxsTdIzWeAw6mQo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYmI1/MTYwYWExYWIzYjhj/YzMxMGU1OTVlNjdm/NjhiNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
