Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcast

123: If They Dance Together, Something Unexpected Will Happen


Listen Later

What happens when we meet the parts of ourselves we've kept out of view, and let them dance with the parts that we're more comfortable showing other people? What happens when we're willing to welcome the parts in others we usually try to push away? And what creativity and possibility open when we give up trying to control one another so that instead we can meet one another fully? A conversation about the gifts of finding 'the other' in ourselves, and ourselves in the other, with 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. We’re also on YouTube, and as a podcast on Apple, Google and Spotify. You can find videos of every episode, and more about the project on the Turning Towards Life website.

Here's our source for this week:

Advice
by Bill Holm

Someone dancing inside us   
   has learned only a few steps:
the "Do-Your-Work" in 4/4 time,     
   the "What-Do-You-Expect" Waltz.
He hasn't noticed yet the woman     
   standing away from the lamp.
The one with black eyes     
   who knows the rumba
and strange steps in jumpy rhythms     
   from the mountains of Bulgaria.
If they dance together,     
   something unexpected will happen;
if they don't, the next world     
   will be a lot like this one.
