Listening to the Land
Listening to the Land: Conversations about Nature, Culture and Eros | Derrick Jensen
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
In this far-ranging and heartening collection, Derrick Jensen gathers conversations with environmentalists, theologians, Native Americans, psychologists, and feminists, engaging some of our best minds in an exploration of more peaceful ways to live on Earth. Included here is Dave Foreman on biodiversity, Matthew Fox on Christianity and nature, Jerry Mander on technology, and Terry Tempest Williams on an erotic connection to the land. With intelligence and compassion, Listening to the Land moves from a look at the condition of the environment and the health of our spirit to a beautiful evocation of eros and a life based on love.

We need that green fire in our eyes. Somehow we‘ve got to remember how to think like a mountain, and somehow we have to speak for Wolf. ~ Dave Foreman

You know those moments you have when you enter a silence that‘s still and complete and peaceful? That‘s the source, the place where everything comes from. In that space, you know everything is connected, that there‘s an ecology of everything. In that place it is possible for people to have a change of heart, a change of thinking, a change in their way of being and living in the world. ~ Linda Hogan

All of us alive now are members of the most important generation of human beings who have ever lived, because we are determining the future, not just for 100 years, but for 1 billion years. When we cut a huge limb off the tree of natural diversity, we‘re forever halting the evolutionary potential of that branch of life. ~ Dave Foreman

Our needs as human beings are really very simple – to love and be loved, a sense of connection and compassion, the desire to be heard. Health. Family. Home. The dance, that sharing of breath, that merging with something larger than ourselves. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
