Love is Always Wilder Than You Imagine, Episode 443
How can we love - people, life, the world - in a way that allows us to genuinely contribute? And how is that different from the kind of love that is really a strategy to have ourselves feel ok?
That second kind of love might be better understood as a way that we try to control life or other people - we’ll love just as long as we get back exactly what we hoped for. The first kind of love is wilder and more surprising and, as author Maria Popova says, the great wonder is ‘how it continues to hold as it continues to change’.
This week's Turning Towards Life hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
