A Wild Love for the World with Joanna Macy

http://www.onbeing.org/

Joanna Macy is a Buddhist philosopher of ecology and a translator of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. Now in her 80s, Macy has always been ahead of her time. She worked with the CIA in Cold War Europe and the Peace Corps in post-colonial India. She even took up environmental activism long before it became mainstream. Krista first interviewed Joanna Macy in 2010 after a man-made ecological disaster: the Gulf Oil Spill. Macy says we're now in a moment she calls "The Great Turning" — a transition from an industrial society to a society that's life-sustaining. 

Macy finds inspiration for this vision in Rilke's poetry; and she uses that poetry to find meaning in the great dramas of our time — ecological, political, and personal.
