Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words by David Whyte

4.0

Lovely reflections. I kept it on my bedside and read an entry each morning (well, most mornings) as a way to start each day for a few months. Whyte's prose reads like poetry. Each entry is an extended definitions-turned-reflections on concepts and emotions that are sometimes mundane, sometimes lofty ideals and emotions. He turns the concepts until they feel somehow both fresh and familiar - a comforting blanket, freshly washed. Partway through, you realize that the concepts interlink to become Whyte's philosophy of life - a cohesive whole, shown to us in parts.

Great resource for sermons.
