Love in the Age of Ecological Apocalypse
批評家のレビュー
“Carolyn Baker has gifted us with a sane and courageous book that reminds us that whatever future may await us, it will be shaped by our capacity for connection. With an elder’s touch, she brings imagination, insight, and wisdom to the territory of love, extending our understanding of this essential experience far beyond our common associations. This book shows us that the only way out is through, and the only way through is together. In this late hour, Baker’s book is a primer to help us navigate the challenging times ahead in community.” (Francis Weller, author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief)
“Carolyn Baker has done a marvelous job reminding us of the central place of relationship-building in our times of dire crisis and collapse. Through her work we explore how love is the source of our wisdom and the path to experience beauty amidst chaos. With words of great acuity and clarity, Baker stirs the mind and comforts the heart.” (Chris Saade, author of Second Wave Spirituality: Passion for Peace, Passion for Justice)
“Few writers today acknowledge the true extremity of the global crises upon us today, much less the fears and grief that come up when we confront our collective predicament. Exploring all the dimensions of love - with partners, children, friends and neighbors, nature, our own bodies, and more - Baker offers comprehensive counsel on preparing for the coming Collapse by developing self-awareness, communication skills, kindness, compassion, caring relationships, community, and spiritual connection.” (Molly Young Brown, coauthor with Joanna Macy of Coming Back to Life: The Updated Guide to the Work That Reconnects)
あらすじ・解説
Given the daunting, dire predicament in which we find ourselves on this planet, what is described by social critic James Howard Kunstler as a "Long Emergency" may in fact become a "Last Emergency" for humanity. Whether we encounter a "long" or a "last" emergency, Carolyn Baker seeks to offer inspiration and guidance for inhabiting our remaining days with passion, vitality, empathy, intimate contact with our emotions, kindness in our relationships with all species, gratitude, open-hearted receptivity, exquisite creations of beauty, and utilizing every occasion, even our demise, as an opportunity to invoke and "inflict" joy in our world.
Love in the Age of Ecological Apolcalypse addresses an array of relationships in the Last Emergency and how one's relationship with oneself may enrich or impede interactions with all other beings.
Drawing upon her deep experience as a life coach, Baker writes of the specific need to understand our key relationships in a society in collapse, and how to navigate through differing levels of acceptance of collapse, trauma, and grief. Key relationships include those with our partners, children, friends, neighbors, as well as relationships with our work, our bodies, our natural resources, food and eating, animals, future generations, Eros, and indeed, the powers of the universe.
Baker's writing is engaging, inspiring, and often beautiful in its depth and candor. She introduces a variety of spiritual practices facilitate our developing a relationship with the deeper Self. With these practices and giving and receiving support from others who are walking a similar path, we begin to live more frequently from the deeper Self, or at least are able to access it more quickly when we find ourselves becoming embroiled in the ego.
