Home, Episode 343
We often go searching out in the world, far and wide, for qualities that already live in ourselves.
And, fuelled by the story of our wider culture that our longings are best met always by ‘more’ and always ‘away from ourselves’, we can forget the treasures that live right here within us, in this living, beating, life-filled heart and body that we are never separate from.
So how can we open ourselves to meeting the deeper something that we long for, that we already are? And how can we help one another home?
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:
I was passionate,
filled with longing,
I searched
far and wide.
But the day
that the Truthful One
found me,
I was at home.
Lal Ded (Kashmir, 14th century)
