208: I Come to You With No Need to Be Fixed

32 minutes

We're conditioned to think of ourselves and other people as in need of fixing, and it makes it so difficult for us to open to one another's beauty and mystery. So what if we could cultivate eyes and hearts of wonder at the luminescent half-moon of one another's presence, and receive one another as rivers do as they give their power and beauty to one another?

This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about how we might walk a path of loving mutual inclusion, 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.

Here's our source for this week:

Love

Though I am undeniably broken,

I come to you with no need to be fixed.

I come to you the way one river

Meets another river - not joining

Out of thirst, but because

there is so much power

And beauty in giving oneself

To another, in moving

Through the world together.

I come to you the way the half moon

Comes into the yard - I could be more

Whole, but in the meantime,

I will bring you everything

I have.
