This essay begins with a brief discussion of the possible derivation of the phenomenology of the eco-imagination seen through the prism of Anna-Teresa Tymienicka’s Imaginatio Creatrix, bolstered by Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s notion of “enchanted nature” and Arne Naess’s “Deep Ecology.” To illustrate this, I cite one of Wole Soyinka’s “Animistic Spells.” I aim to show that each of these theoretical strategies emphasizes the intrinsic interconnectedness of all life forms and geophysical features on Planet Earth. Retracing the paths into “the rites of vision and truth” for sustainability, the core analysis is on Sir Ben Okri’s Every Leaf a Hallelujah, the central theme of which is nature’s uncanny ability to transform human nature. Ultimately, I propose that, echoing Tymieniecka’s phenomenology of life and the human creative condition, this folktale for children [and the child within us all] represents a significant contribution to contemporary discourse on conservation for sustainability.
