\nWhat can happen when we share our 'selves' with each other, making our gifts, qualities and experiences available. How we grow through this, how we long for it, and how much we try to defend against it.\xa0
\n
\nThis episode of Turning Towards Life is a conversation of\xa0 discovery: that our selves are not something we made on our own, but gifts given to us by the sharing of others. Hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

\nLoving you has taught me the infinite\nlonging of the self to be given away\nand the great difficulty of that entire\ngiving, for in love to give is to receive\nand then there is yet more to give;\nand others have been born of our giving\nto whom the self, greatened by gifts,\xa0\nmust be given, and by that giving\xa0\nbe increased, until, self-burdened,\xa0\nthe self, staggering upwards in years,\xa0\nin fear, hope, love, and sorrow,\xa0\nimagines, rising like a moon,\xa0\na pale moon risen in daylight\nover the dark woods, the Self\nwhose gift we and all others are,\xa0\nthe self that is by definition given.\n\n
