The soft can be more powerful than the hard...Soft can be very substantial and shape the difference. Good emerging topic and conversation...The photographs are excellent.

I appreciate it Jay. As I said to Tammi, I really like him and what he stands for.

When I profile people in these articles, I'm profiling people like that, who have something to contribute and come from a place of authenticity and generosity. People to be celebrated and emulated in life!

It's such a treat to read this. Donn, you described David Whyte so precisely, and allowed me to know more about the corporate work that he does, which both surprised me and increased my respect for the integration and wholeness that he represents. These photos capture his spirit powerfully. Well done!

Great! I heard David Whyte on the Sam Harris podcast /app (Waking Up) and loved what he had to say. From then on I've been a fan of his poetry and his worldview.

Great review of a wonderful human. My husband is very quick too. Poetry is hard for him so I relate. Love your images.

Great article, Donn. I have been following David for many years and often quote his work in my writings on Medium. Are these images yours? If so, may I use them (with appropriate credit, of course!) when I post about him? Good job!

Tim,

Yes, with photo credit you have my permission. He's a good guy. If possible, maybe footnotes or whatever, it would be great to reference my website, https://www.dobkinphoto.com

Thanks for the compliments!
