Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcast

92: There Is No Road Ahead


Listen Later

Our lives are made more difficult than they might be by our insistence that things should be a certain way that we’ve imagined or seen in the lives of others. What would happen if we compassionately let go of the idea that there is ‘a path’ for each of us to follow, and committed instead to taking one step into the wild unknown at a time? A conversation about time, gratitude, practice and turning into the flow of our lives with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here’s Episode 92 of 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.

One of the ways in which we so easily add needlessly to the difficulties life brings us is our engagement in comparison – with the lives of others, and with the life we imagine we should have or should have had. There’s no way round it: the life we have is, exactly, this very life, and the question we might most powerfully and kindly ask is ‘which way now, from this moment, now?’

Making the path by walking it is a topic beautifully taken up by Lynn Ungar in her poem ‘The Path’, which reminds us that there is no way life is meant to be, only what we make by living. And it’s this truth that forms the basis of our conversation in this episode.
