Wild Card with Rachel Martin · Terry Tempest Williams · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

I don't know if it was in her mind.

I don't know if it was God.

I don't know any of it.

But I knew she wanted to share it in that moment.

And I'm not afraid of death.

That's what I was going to ask.

It sounds like fear is not a part of your thought process when it comes to dying.

I'm afraid of this interview.

I'm afraid of getting in trouble at Harvard.

I'm afraid of a million things.

I'm always afraid, but it doesn't stop me.

But I'm not afraid of death because death is life and death is the tree that's

that's merging into the ground.

You know, it's the dust that I want to rub all over.

When I was, I was just in the redwoods and I, you know, I watched this huge tree just disintegrating horizontally.

And there was this fine, fine powder.

And I just, I picked up some and I, my instinct, I just wanted to rub it all over my face, my arms.

You know, it's like, what can this tree tell me in death so that I might live more fully?

I'm just curious, this is a highly personal question, but do you want to be cremated?

I don't.
