218: Climbing Into Your Own Life
The wonderful Robert Bly died just a short time ago, leaving behind him countless invitations to each of us to step into our lives more fully. Our conversation this week honours his work by taking up his poem 'He Wanted to Live His Life Over'.
This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about the nature of time, what it might be to allow our lives to be enriched by all that has come before, and what it is to say 'yes' to life, no matter what. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

He Wanted to Live His Life Over
What? You want to life your life over again?
"Well, I suppose, yes ... That time in Grand Rapids ...
My life - as I lived it - was a series of shynesses."
Being bolder - what good would that do?
"I'd open my door again. I've felt abashed,
You see. Now I'd go out and say, 'All right,
I'll go with you to Alaska.' Just opening the door
From inside would have altered me – a little.
I'm too shy ..." And so, a bolder life
Is what you want? "We could begin now.
Just walk with me – down to the river.
I'll pretend this boat is my life ... I'll climb in."
