My name is Naomi and what a privilege it is, to journey with a client around their life story.
To be a Pastoral Narrative Therapist, David Whyte’s poem describes our journey with clients the best.
The Journey:
Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again
David Whyte
Painting their black silhouettes on an open sky.
Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens.
So you can find the one line already written inside you.
Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that
First, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in our own heart.
Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out
Someone has written something new in the ashes of your life.
You are not leaving. Even as the light fades quickly now, you are arriving.
