\nIf you sit long enough, and still, the world might reveal itself in ways you had not, yet, imagined. If you'll dance with the people and things of your life, you might find they come forward and dance with you in return. Because the world is always offering us to our imagination... and our capacity to be in the world 'as if' is one that we don't always remember to draw upon.
\n
\nThis week's Turning Towards Life is conversation about how the world is always being shaped by the way we're engaging in it, and shaping us in return, hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
\n
\nThis is 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.

\nIf you sit long enough
\n
\n\n\nIf you sit long enough,\nand still,\nthe birds will come\nand you will see\nthat the world you thought\nwas all yours to carry\nall alone\nhas only a veil\nbetween it\nand all the other worlds.\nThe birds know this\nand delight\nto draw your gaze\nand ignite your heart\nby pulling back the curtain\nand modelling what it is\nto live and build and feed and grow\ntrusting\nthat all you will ever need\nhas already been provided.\nPossessing such wisdom\nwhy wouldn't you\nsing and shout and show off your colours\nin loopy flights,\nand try,\nfor the millionth time\nto dance on an acorn?
