This is what Whyte means when he writes about the conversational nature of reality. It’s an acknowledgment that there are deeper forces at play in the world and we are a tiny little part of all that magic. It’s about existing within that magic and still daring to ask questions about what matters or where you fit in. Much of my previous life had been scripted into a routine and I spent almost all my time knowing where I was supposed to be. This short‑circuited my curiosity for years and kept me from seeing that there was a “conversation” with the world to be had at all.
