Product Description

From the Forward by Tom Berry:
Lorna Green proposes that we reestablish that primordial intimacy between humans and the natural world, an intimacy with all living creatures and all physical phenomena that constitute the living organism: The Earth.

Every power in the universe is needed if humans are to survive with any degree of fulfillment. The powers that govern the world include vast powers beyond the Earth. These are spiritual as well as physical forces. We need to recover this intimacy with all our relations.

...There are the voices also...that modern man now seldom hears, voices of the winds, of the mountains and rivers, the voices of the woodlands and the meadows and all the living creatures that inhabit the land and the sea and fly through the air. If they had, they would surely have responded with the awe and reverence that the peoples of the Earth have known from Paleolithic times.

Lorna Green has articulated the nature of the challenge that we confront and has given us a way of responding to the challenge. Her response comes from her own lifetime experience of extensive study, meditation and living with the land. She has heard the voices...Lorna Green is someone to be listened to.

Lorna Green introduces her "earth-centered" view of spirituality, revealing a new way to view the universe, ourselves, and the Earth. Asking readers to embrace the Earth anew, she calls attention to its destruction, then moves to the ideas of the great tradition that she believes are responsible for that crisis, beginning with Genesis and extending through modern science.
