Exploring the relevance of David Whyte's poem 'Start Close In' to how we navigate change and make progress in our lives. I shared this poem at the beginning of a hike on a recent men's retreat.
Thank you Chris. This has really got me thinking. I've certainly experienced taking a deep dive into something and getting overwhelmed/ confused/ disorientated and then doubting myself. What you and David (your mate.. hehe) share is very wise....It seems like a more organic, sustainable way of moving forwards.....and slow steady action can move us along quicker in the end....like the tortoise and the hare maybe? Love you xxx
Yes! Ais, your comments are always so on point. Slow and steady wins the race. I love the gentleness and sense of self-compassion and understanding that David brings to the notion of personal growth.
You are welcome Rosie! I love your comment and am grateful for your ongoing support. As you know better than most, writing can be a lonesome pursuit and so these little comments are really useful for me.

Chris is an important voice in connection and men's work and is needed now more than ever as we work towards becoming good ancestors.
Awww! Stefan, this is such a kind comment. Thank you for all that you are also bringing to this important work.
I love this. And needed to hear it today. Thank you x
