What happens when we honour both our deep gratitude for what is and our fierce yearning for what might be? How might we distinguish between the wanting that tries to fill an inner emptiness and the discontent that fuels a more life-giving opening to our lives... neither bypassing the tenderness of unfulfilled desires nor abandoning the creative energy they contain? What if our yearning, like trees reaching skyward, represents not something missing but something essential about what it means to be fully alive and engaged with the world?
A conversation about the tension between receiving life fully as it presents itself and allowing ourselves to reach toward something that is still calling us.
This week’s conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here’s our source for this week:
Always yearn
Yearning is divine discontent that fuels us to keep expanding. To yearn is to live. Our desire is what gets us up in the morning, ignites our curiosity, gives our lives resonance. Do not be disconsolate when you feel a strong sense of yearning. It is an invitation that says: there is more, there is more, there is more. The Universe is constantly expanding. Why shouldn’t you?
Yearning is not a problem to be solved. It is an energy to be explored.
Three useful questions to start your own conversation about yearning and desire
What do you want?
More, what do you long for?
Most of all, when I do not have what I long for, how can I cradle myself through that rough edge?
