Terra Firma

The Damning Silence (Mount Zirkel Wilderness, Colorado)

Listen Later

All night, camped near a mountain stream, CMarie lies awake listening. She's hoping to hear a sound she hasn't heard in a long time: a wolf howl. And as she waits, she considers the ways each of us howls -- and how sometimes, when we don't, the silence aches.

This episode takes place on Eastern Shoshone and Ute homelands.
