We have separated soul from experience, become totally taken up with the outside world and allowed the interior world to shrink.*
John O’Donohue
Now, looking through
the slanting light
of the morning
window toward
the mountain
presence
of everything
that can be,
what urgency
calls you to your
one love? What shape
waits in the seed
of you to grow
and spread
its branches
against a future sky?**
David Whyte
Vladimir and Estragon
wait for
the outside to happen, unaware
they could employ these hours to
become some inside Godot.
