Writer Chloe Garcia Roberts describes translating as the practice of doing divination with a dictionary. As she carries meaning from one language to another, or from the spirit world to her original writing, she steps outside of societal structures to channel a fundamental kind of mystery, resisting dogma and letting herself be led by instinct. Chloe joins Rebecca to talk about the difference between religion and spirituality, translation as a spiritual act, and how she taps into the language of trees.
