"Life at the Frontier: The Conversational Nature of Reality” TED Talk by David Whyte

In this TED Talk by the poet/philosopher David Whyte, he encourages and inspires us to engage with life, rather than to miss out on all the wakening opportunities it presents. Whyte does this through his vibrant poetry, which he invites us to become grounded in, and illuminates with memorable stories. 

(from Wikipedia): Whyte's mother was from Waterford, Ireland, and his father was a Yorkshireman. He attributes his poetic interest to both the songs and poetry of his mother's Irish heritage and to the landscape of West Yorkshire (in England). He grew up in West Yorkshire and has commented that he had "a Wordsworthian childhood", in the fields and on the moors. Whyte has a degree in marine zoology from Bangor University (in Wales). 

During his twenties, Whyte worked as a naturalist and lived in the Galapagos Islands, where he experienced a near drowning on the southern shore of Hood Island. He led anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and the Himalayas. Whyte moved to the United States in 1981 and began a career as a poet and speaker in 1986. From 1987, he began taking his poetry and philosophy to larger audiences, including consulting and lecturing on organisational leadership models in the US and UK exploring the role of creativity in business. (He currently resides on the Olympic Peninsula.)
