Description
In the early days of the pandemic, for a few months our world slowed down and almost stopped. In this space I was drawn to listen to a different rhythm, the silence and sounds of the natural world and the deeper pulse of the Earth. Those months soon passed, and the pandemic not only took us into fears for our health and an economic crisis, but soon afterwards into the fragmented, divisive dramas around masks and vaccines. But the memory of a quieter, clearer world remained, and the sense of how this nourishes the soul and the Earth. Over the next year as I walked the beaches and wetlands nearby, I became more and more immersed in this primal landscape, sensing it has a quality we need for a new human story. I wrote a series of articles exploring this “deep ecology of consciousness,” describing it as a seed for a living future. They are collected together here.

In the depths of the pandemic, the great Sufi teacher, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, explored the primal, sacred landscape ever-present below our divisiveness. What he retrieved there is gathered in this compelling collection of personal essays. He has somehow woven the perennial seeds of Spirit into a deep ecology of consciousness that can help us build a better world. This book is medicine for our times."
