I loved the book. It has new recipes. I bought it because I loved the older version and saw this new, updated one with larger pages, updated information, repeats of old favorite recipes and changes in others.

The Dream of the Earth by Thomas Berry
I bought this book because I was reading his later book, THE GREAT WORK, and wanted to read his outline of his dream. Thomas talks about corporations being so powerful we may have lost our cultural knowledge about how to follow our own best interests, which include our purpose in life. We can get so hemmed in by powerful demands we can't act freely. It has lasted so long, possibly, that we have fogotten how to follow our intuition, maybe like a child in a large family used to "instinctively" know how to care for babies because they were in their environment to contrast with a single child in a nuclear family facing her firstborn and needing help.
Thomas recommended looking to our instincts, written in our genetics, because we don't know what to do culturally. Our instincts are dreamlike, not formed, we aren't sure. I wanted to read his dream of the earth. I think Thomas has something marvelous to offer. He lived to his 90's. He had an academic life. He was a monk and so used to non-physical realities. His book with Brian Swimme, THE UNIVERSE STORY, added to our outlook about our own story. It fit with theological insights. We are blessed to have had Thomas Berry live.
