VEHICLE: A thing used to express or fulfill something. Empty vehicles are especially ominous because it implies you are completely free to begin again, placing inside your wants and desires. The possibilities are endless. Fill it only with people and things that bring you alive.
Here is another David Whyte poem.
Sweet Darkness
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.
the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn anything or anyone
confinement of your aloneness
to learn anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
