Wild Card with Rachel Martin · Melinda French Gates · 5 Feb 2026 podcast

Because we touch one another through those places.

That's my belief.

Oh, when I walk in nature.

I take time in quiet almost every morning.

So sometimes then, and when I do, I like to sit outside.

Even if it's cold in Seattle, I'll try and sit out with a coffee, you know, or go out and walk, get my feet in the grass, walk in the yard.

But there are places like when you're in a forest and you're walking in a forest, there's a place north of Seattle I like to go.

There's a set of islands, the San Juan Islands.

I know them.

Yeah, and when I'm up there, oh my gosh, it just, there's just a grounding.

And like those islands are rocks.

They've been there, you know, for centuries before us.

And other humans have walked those paths long before I did, you know, hundreds of years ago.

And I just, you just feel a grounding and a settledness.

And that's when I feel like I can sort of feel some of these people that I've known or who've come before me.

Last question.

Okay.

Hope, always hope.

And when I'm really in despair is probably some of the best times to go out and see community work, either in the United States or in another country.
