Increasing numbers of multitude feel the impact of this , feel some shape of what is being called climate heartbreak , ecologic expiration , or sometimes even solastalgia . Our species is entering a time of hard and deep mourning . As environmentalist Leslie Head has say , “ Grief will be our companion on this journeying — it is not something we can sell with and move on . ” It will be with us for a long sentence to do .
Stephen Harrod Buhner make the reader on a journey into and through that heartache to what is expect on the other side , a place that Viktor Frankl , Jacques Cousteau , Vaclav Havel , Elizabeth Kubler - Ross and so many others have found . It ’s where one becomes an in use witnesser , animated to the loss that are occurring and the grief that is felt but is not get the better of by them . Then he jaunt into and through the vulgar feelings of guilt and shame ( impression that are put on so many but in actuality go to very few ) that add up from ecological ravaging .

At journeying ’s end what arise is not the optimism of false Leslie Townes Hope ( as Greta Thunberg calls it ) but a deeper and more naturalistic hope , one that is intimately entangle with gravitas and the journeying through going . It ’s born from the pump ’s integration of brokenheartedness and a deep faith in the unripe humankind , in this planet from which we have emerged , and in the Modern life that come with every spring .
Stephen ’s Word of God is written with the exquisite prose dash , familiarity , deepness of sixth sense , and take storytelling for which he is known . No one who read it will stay in-situ or ever again feel as if they are alone in the heartbreak they feel for what is happening to our rest home .
