236: What Is Lost Is Now Found

Published: April 17, 2022, 10:47 a.m.

How can we be the ones who welcome what has been lost in others, and in doing so be the ones who welcome again what has been lost in ourselves? It's a central question for our fragmented times.

This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about how we find our way back home to what was here all along, and the crucial role of welcome, truth-telling and relationship in making that possible. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here's a link to the details of the new Thirdspace Leading from Essential Self programme which we talked about in the previous episode and which is is coming up soon.

Here's our source for this week:

The birth of new life is something to behold,
but have you ever witnessed a revival?
Have you seen a person meet themselves
after years apart,
hands touching through a mirror,
eyes locked together,
a smile so strong it echoes.
Have you ever watched a person breathe
after drowning,
deep gulps of air that lungs welcome with shouts of,
finally, finally, finally!
Have you ever witnessed the moment
soul sinks into body,
the calm when mind and heart look at each other
with love instead of longing.
Have you ever placed your hand on your chest 
and with absolute clarity been able to say
what was lost is now found.'
