The Current Moment

    Description

    We now find ourselves at a moment of peril and possibility. Today, species are becoming extinct at a rate not seen for 65 million years, when the dinosaurs died off. And yet, Swimme says, at this destructive moment comes a creative opening of new possibilities. Instead of identifying ourselves as Democrats or Republicans, Americans or French, can we discover a new way of being human that aligns ourselves with the dynamics of life itself?
