David WhyteAs human beings we have this immediate gateway - youโve just to articulate exactly the way that youโre exiled, exactly the way that you donโt belong, exactly the way that you canโt love, exactly the way that you canโt move ... and youโre on your way again. Youโre on your way home. If you can just say exactly the way that youโre imprisoned - the door swings open.
