97: Refining the Truths We Can Tell Each Other

What if love isn’t a feeling but the dedicated, liberating, sometimes painful work of learning to tell each other the truth? A conversation about being courageous, turning towards one another, and honouring the complexities of being a human being, with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

For a while it seems obvious to many of us that it’s self-protection that’s the guarantee of an easy life. But before long we find that our wish to protect ourselves – particularly from those we are closest to – leads to a life in which we’re distant from everyone and everything. So the alternative is to learn to tell the truth about ourselves, and to develop our capacity to listen while others tell the truth about themselves. It’s a process that is never done, calling on ever-deeper refinement, sensitivity, and courage. And the reward is that we get to inhabit our lives and establish contactfulness with others.
