\nIn between our certainty that we\u2019re too small, or too inadequate to meet life, and our fantasies (perhaps even expectations) of perfection, mastery of life, and personal power, there is a middle place. And the middle, if we\u2019ll meet ourselves and one another there, is far from a place of mediocrity. Instead it\u2019s a way in which we can be real with one another, truthful about our messiness and our gloriousness, and the messiness and gloriousness of life. Will you meet us there? This episode of Turning Towards Life is a conversation which invites a new understanding of \u2018middling\u2019 \u2013 less as an adjective, more as a verb, something we can actively do to find a dignified \u2018right size\u2019 in our lives; hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

\n\n\nAnd the body is holding its losses like a fist. And a fleshy hope
\nis opening to an unprecedented vastness. And whatever we think
\nwe are leaving behind will keep insisting. And the things we desire
\nwill elude us. And our efforts will pose as failure. And we will not recognize
\nhow far we\u2019ve come. And we will solve one problem and create another.
\nAnd we will feel broken. And we will not be broken. And the silence
\nwill be deafening. And we will love destructively. And no one
\nwill appear to be listening. And there will be too many doors
\nto choose from. And we will keep saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know how to do this.\u201d
\nAnd we will be more capable than we ever imagined.
