We need Thomas Berry to help us understand what is going on; to give us eyes to see, ears to hear, passion to feel, courage to act; to give us ways to explain what has happened; and to give us knowledge of what we authentically may rely on, hope for and move toward if we are to create a viable future.
- “Ecozoic” means “House of Life.” “Ecozoic societies” are “Societies of Life.”
