\nThe wonderful Robert Bly died just a short time ago, leaving behind him countless invitations to each of us to step into our lives more fully. Our conversation this week honours his work by taking up his poem 'He Wanted to Live His Life Over'.\xa0
\n
\n\n\nThis week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about the nature of time, what it might be to allow our lives to be enriched by all that has come before, and what it is to say 'yes' to life, no matter what. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.\n\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.

\n
\nHe Wanted to Live His Life Over
\n
\n\n\n\nWhat? You want to life your life over again?
\n"Well, I suppose, yes ... That time in Grand Rapids ...
\nMy life - as I lived it - was a series of shynesses."
\n
\nBeing bolder - what good would that do?
\n"I'd open my door again. I've felt abashed,
\nYou see. Now I'd go out and say, 'All right,
\n
\nI'll go with you to Alaska.' Just opening the door
\nFrom inside would have altered me \u2013 a little.
\nI'm too shy ..." And so, a bolder life
\n
\nIs what you want? "We could begin now.\xa0
\nJust walk with me \u2013 down to the river.\xa0
\nI'll pretend this boat is my life ... I'll climb in."\n
