David Whyte’s “Blessing” poems are interpreted through a visual journey across the Irish landscape in this short film by Emmy-winning filmmaker Andrew Hinton and musician and composer Owen Ó Súilleabháin.
Musician and composer Owen Ó Súilleabháin, who has collaborated with David Whyte for over a decade, brings two of his poems – “Blessing for Sound” and “Blessing for the Light” – from The Bell and the Blackbird to life.
“I thank you light,
David Whyte
for the subtle way
your merest touch gives shape
to such things I could
only learn to love
through your delicate instruction”
