What if This Was That Day?
Episode 231, Mar 13, 2022, 05:06 PM
How do we make contact with our own kindness, generosity, creativity, patience, courage, compassion, fierce or gentle love, and our capacity to stay in contact with life, right when we're afraid or wanting to turn away?
This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about how we find that in ourself that's ready to stay faithful, when other parts of us strongly want to turn away - and how we help one another to do that. Our conversation is seeded from a source from the wonderful work of Maya Stein. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living. Find us on FaceBook to watch live and join in the lively conversation on this episode. You can find videos of every episode, and more about the project on the Turning Towards Life website, and you can also watch and listen on Instagram, YouTube, and as a podcast on Apple, Google and Spotify.

What If?
Whatever you’re afraid of. Whatever you’re warding off, trying to hold back
from being true. Whatever keeps sniffing at your legs, and whatever you keep
kicking away. Whatever draft you’re trying to seal. Whatever risk you push
to the perimeter. Whatever old whisper you’re turning from to deafen. Whatever exit
you’re avoiding, eyes locked on the straightaway. Whatever breakage you think is yours
to mend, and the endless ministrations of that mending. Whatever call you keep
not picking up. Whatever blank piece of paper. Whatever Hail Mary. Whatever salt
you keep throwing over your shoulder. One day, it will stop being enough
to keep you from your own magnificence. And what if, what if, what if
this was that day?
