Promise to Stay Wild With Me, Episode 282

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.

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.
