This is a poem by David Whyte, the brilliant contemporary poet. It talks about learning to be at home in the darkness, and learning how to navigate the edge of where we keep ourselves small. David Whyte's poetry is brilliant and touching, personal and universal.

Idol Sweet darkness poem
I had never heard of this poem prior to this meditation . However, upon hearing it , I loved it so much that I listen to it three times. I found it very relaxing. I also noticed many parallels between this poem and the sleep meditations on this app. Like the meditations, this poem encourages its listeners to let go ofThe day

The Irony of Darkness
In darkness my horizon can be illumined with a new perspective. I can find joy and appreciation when I close my eyes.
