David Whyte’s book “Consolations” is a living testimony to the perils, pitfalls and unexpected joys of what it is to be a human on a constant journey of becoming. The gaze is tender and generous as he alights on words which ordinarily, but unnecessarily according to his elegiac rewording, often provoke disdain or even self hatred. A wonderfully crafted companion piece to living and contemplating life.
