great work of our time

love is everywhere (photo of tiny heart we found concrete path outside my son’s school)

“The Great Work of our time is to carry out the transition from the current period where humans are a destructive presence on the Earth, to one where the human presence is mutually beneficial to the planet and the entire community of life—a mutually enhancing human/earth relationship. To do this we need to undergo, at both an individual and collective level, a fundamental transformation – a virtual reinvention of what we consider the role of human beings to be. ” ~Thomas Berry

Thanks for this quote. I came across Thomas Berry first in Bill Plotkin’s books – really inspiring 🙂

It was so funny, Joan but Colin and I found it at the same exact time. We walk that path from school everyday, and somehow in the same second… we discovered “love” together. Such a little blessing (standing beside my HUGE blessing of a son) xo
