SPIRAL: Life in the Ever-Approaching
SPIRAL: Life in the Ever-Approaching
“I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?”
— R.M. RILKE, BOOK OF HOURS - 1,2 (as translated by Joanna Macy)
With wisdom from our conversations with Joanna Macy, Molly Young Brown, adrienne maree brown, Francesca Lia Block, and Tyson Yunkaporta—this zine is a meditation on the cycles and spirals of life. Here, we emphasize continuity amidst change, stillness within motion, beauty within the terror, and the deep contradictions and nuance that life holds. This meaning making is accompanied by poetry and art from For The Wild community members, Jamila Colozzi, Sun Moresun, Giulia Mattera, Miriam Collins, Byronie Wise, Rose Drummond, Kristen Anderson and Giorgia Pui (Rose de Nour).
With 36 pages of content including prayers, episode excerpts, reflection questions, art, poetry, writing and resources to further deepen your practices, we hope you find resonance with this offering.

For The Wild Podcast houses some of the most critical conversations of our time, with grassroots activists, organizers, theologians, artists, and scientists who are taking action for the Earth. As a platform, we seek to bring together these often siloed areas by sharing a multitude of perspectives. More than just sharing conversation, we seek to act as an educational tool that will encourage the mobilization of listeners. Our content leaves no stone unturned, as we uphold a willingness to tackle some of the most challenging questions of our time. From the frontlines of climate chaos and resource extraction to exploring the origins of capitalism and patriarchy, each week we venture to expand our understanding of the intersectional nature of all movements engaging environmental and social justice.
