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
—David Whyte
Whyte’s ‘Just Beyond Yourself’ is a rallying cry for adventure. It’s a roadmap, leading us beyond the borders of what we know. It whispers a promise in our ear, a promise of hidden potential that’s ripe for discovery.
Think about it. An unknown version of us is waiting on the other side of comfort.
It’s not about merely finding ourselves, it’s about pushing beyond, about uncovering that “you” which is yet undiscovered.
