Rejoicing with Nature in Our Own...

Margaret Renki

In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, New York Times contributor Margaret Renkl suggests that we make an “untidy” garden that will nurture our soul and the natural world. She encourages us to fall in love with the natural companions in our lives: the spiders, the hummingbirds, crickets, and raccoons, and all the other species who are living right beside us. When we fall in love with them, we can't help but want to save them. Renkl suggests stepping out of our small world of computer screens, smartphones and TVs to step into the larger natural world, which is everywhere, just outside our front door.
