master, and her powerful, heart-centered work is a blessing,
showing us how to transform ourselves and the world.”—Jack

“Thirty years after its original publication, the wisdom in these
pages remains timeless and universal … as we face increasing
catastrophes due to the climate crisis, we need this book now more
than ever.”—Kazu Haga, author of Healing Resistance
“Joanna Macy's unrelenting dedication over decades to help catalyze
a radical shift within our collective awareness is a heroic gift …
a prescient, timeless map.… Even as Macy asks us to face the stark
realities of a collapsing world, she brings hope by reminding us to
stay ever faithful to the compassionate, bodhisattva
heart.”—Thanissara, author of Time to Stand Up
“When everything seems to be collapsing … Joanna Macy sings a song
to urge us not to run away, not to shrink away from these material
irruptions, but to open our hearts and anchor our bodies to a world
so sensuously alive that it could only be described as a lover. May
we never outgrow our elders.”—Bayo Akomolafe, PhD, author of These
Wilds Beyond our Fences
