23 Reflections and 26 Pieces of Verse, etc. (COVER REMARKS) by
Thomas Berry, to whom book is dedicated, author of THE DREAM OF THE
EARTH, cultural historian and geologian: "As we awaken, in this new
millennium, to a dynamic, hitherto scarcely dreamed of future in
every phase of life, John Cock's latest book sounds a clarion call
for our participation in the great enterprise of enhancing
communion between the human and the other-than-human components of
the sacred earth community." (MASTER IMAGE) A book about the spirit
journey of communion with the power at the heart of creation that
motivates us humans to be agents of intercommunion. (From the
INTRODUCTION) Section one is about linking our understanding of
creation and its interior power to our current human condition: the
people of this planet are dispirited. Yet, we are on a spirit
journey which is not about "me as a person" but is about "me in
relation with all others," human and non-human. The truth we are
missing is that spirit happens in the relation between the other
and me, or spirit happens in the relations of creation. In this
section we explore spirit's presence in everyday life and the
dynamics of the spirit journey. In section two, . . . How do we
begin to deal with the contradiction of our time, which is spirit
disrelation? Answer: we become more aware of our experiences of
communion with spirit. In section three . . . the focus is the
mission of creation as mutual care or intercommunion . . . a way to
talk about our resolve and action to comprehensively interrelate
with and care for creation as it cares for us. . . . The change we
envision will not come from the ought of sustainability, will not
come from more democraticgovernments, more economic prosperity, or
a better educated populace. It will come from a more conscious
spirit journey of communion and intercommunion of a growing
movement of people around the planet.
