220: Your Implicit is My Possibility

Published: Dec. 29, 2021, 12:34 a.m.

We each carry a whole implicit world with us, a way of being that profoundly shapes what's possible for others in relationship with us. But because it's implicit, the 'background', it can be hard to see how much more there is to our relationships than the actions we take and the words we say. As Lizzie writes in this week's source, "What’s implied in your words, your actions, your feelings towards me. That’s what’s most powerful. What’s implied. That’s what shapes me most profoundly. "

This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about  profound ways we affect one another before we even speak. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.


This 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.

Here's our source for this week:

Your implicit = my possibility.

You see me as whole, you trust me.
You treat me as capable, you encourage me.
You feel me to be complete, you allow me.
Each day you welcome me as new, you accept me.

No fixing. No changing. Something way deeper. Something far wider.

What’s implied in your words, your actions, your feelings towards me. 
That’s what’s most powerful. What’s implied. That’s what shapes me most profoundly. 

That you trust me makes me trustworthy. 
That you love me makes me loveable.
That you honour me makes me honourable.
That you have faith in me makes me faithful. 

We are connected. Not separate.

My depth, and all that comes comes from my background shapes what’s possible for you. 

Your depth, and all that comes from your background shapes what’s possible for me.
