On this episode we explore our complicated relationship with the natural world. What does the violence of nature teach us about our human capacity for justice, empathy, of love? How do we find rest in animals, nature, and myth? Inspired by Wendell Berry's poem, "The Peace of Wild Things," Helen Macdonald's "H is for Hawk," and the poetry of Ted Hughes and Mary Oliver.
