How can we learn to bring enthusiasm and aliveness to what's happening, without turning away? How do we welcome in ourselves that which we've exiled - and that very same something in others - and do so with joy and gladness? How do we hold together our wildness and our seriousness, our wide-eyed wonder and our practicality, our delight and our shame? How do we orient to life so that everything that is alive in us has a chance to belong?



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

Here's our source for this week:



Promise to Stay Wild With Me



Promise to stay wild 

with me.



We’ll seek and return 

and stay and find beauty 

and the extraordinary 

in all the spaces we can 

claim. 



We’ll know how to live. 

How to breathe magic 

into the mundane.



We can be in love with 

one thousand views 

and skylines and souls 

and minds at once. 



Don't apologize for 

your burn, your passion, 

or your enthusiasm.



Enthusiasm propels the 

world.
