We Never Know Who We Are, Episode 315

Underneath many of our common-sense understandings of who we each are, there is a deeper mystery.

How did I get to be the person who I am today? How does the stream of life that began long before me, and will continue long after me, shape me?

And is there a way we can come to know ourselves and our mystery more fully in the way we listen to and come to know one another - in friendship, community, or the kind of helping that coaching provides?

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:

We never know who we are

We never know who we are 
(this is strange, isn’t it?) 
or what vows we made 
or who we knew 
or what we hoped for 
or where we were 
when the world’s dreams were seeded.

Until the day just one of us
sighs a ­gentle longing
and we all feel the change
one of us calls a name
and we all know to be there
one of us tells a dream
and we all breathe life into it
one of us asks “why?”
and we all know the answer.

It is very strange.
We never know who we are
