Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcast

315: We Never Know Who We Are


Listen Later

Underneath many of our common-sense understandings of who we each are, there is a deeper mystery. How did I get to be the person who I am today? How does the stream of life that began long before me, and will continue long after me, shape me?

And is there a way we can come to know ourselves and our mystery more fully in the way we listen to and come to know one another - in friendship, community, or the kind of helping that coaching provides?

Here’s our source for this week:

We never know who we are

We never know who we are 
(this is strange, isn’t it?) 
or what vows we made 
or who we knew 
or what we hoped for 
or where we were 
when the world’s dreams were seeded.

Until the day just one of us 
sighs a ­gentle longing 
and we all feel the change 
one of us calls a name 
and we all know to be there 
one of us tells a dream 
and we all breathe life into it 
one of us asks “why?” 
and we all know the answer.

It is very strange. 
We never know who we are
