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

Really?

And just shapeshift and seeing animals.

morph into birds, morph into fish, alligators, you know, profiles of people that I knew.

It was a companion to my imagination.

And I felt completely free.

Did a grown-up show you how to do that?

Or do you remember being instructed in some way about how to use your imagination?

Or is it just, you just saw things?

it wasn't an instruction.

We would always lay on what she called the, um,

It was like a chaise lounge, you know, on her couches.

And we would listen to music or we would listen to bird calls.

She was quite extraordinary.

And then one day I remember she said to her, just let your mind go blank.
