Inhaltsangabe

How does connection with nature help overcome early trauma in individuals and societies? What is the healing power of a life-giving cosmology (a comprehensive origins story) that brings us back to a sense of meaning and belonging to the universe? Part memoir, part lyrical essay and poetry, Sacred Earth Rising Within carries a powerful message of hope for the human prospect. It begins with the author's early experiences as a minister's kid, and the life-changing impact of the kidnapping and attempted murder of his sister when they were just seven and eight years old. This early trauma thrust the author into a spiritual rupture and a subsequent journey back toward wholeness. The author draws striking parallels between this personal trauma and the larger collective trauma of our culture's severance from the natural world. He extends this as well to the traumatic aspects of our lack of grounding in a larger unifying story. Interweaving poetic landscape interludes with narrative non-fiction and poetry, the author presents a new hybrid genre that speaks to the heart, mind, and spirit of the human. The result offers a profoundly healing narrative for our time, one that is both personal and universal.
