Bird and Stone

How do we attend to our inner complexity? Are there ways we might relate to the many parts of us that honour both subtlety and certainty, practicality and mystery, hardness and softness, ground and sky? And what might it take for us to be the ones who bring ourselves to all of this - and to each other - in a way that fosters relationships that are nourishing and truthful, inviting and care-taking, so that we don't fall into habitual patterns that end up elevating one side of each polarity at the cost of the destruction of the other?

This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Bird and Stone

There is a bird and a stone
in your body. Your job is not
to kill the bird with the stone.
