Dear Spirit to Spirit friend,
In walking through our lives, at many times we may ask the question- is this where I need to be? David Whyte's poem, "Just Beyond Yourself", is a beautiful form of guidance that helps us meet that question.
Just beyond
yourself
it’s where
you need
to be
Half a step
into
self-forgetting
and the rest
restored
by what
you’ll meet
There is a road
always beckoning
When you see
the two sides
of it
closing together
at that far horizon
and deep in
the foundations
of your own
heart
at exactly
the same
time,
that’s how
you know
it’s the road
you
have
to follow
That’s how
you know
it’s where
you
have
to go
That’s how
you know
you have
to go
That’s
how you know
Just beyond
yourself,
it’s
where you
need to be
In Gratitude & Love, Joanna
