Internationally-acclaimed poet, author and speaker David Whyte’s 9th volume of poetry. 2016 Many Rivers Press JUST BEYOND YOURSELF 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. Just beyond yourself, it’s where you need to be. - David Whyte
