Age of Forgetting – Christine Valters Paintner 

“We live in what we might call an Age of Forgetting. We have forgotten who we are in relation to everything else: the creatures, the plants, the mountains, the forests, the oceans, one another, and even to ourselves. One of the fruits of contemplative practice is the remembrance of our wholeness, to see past the divisions we create with our egos and minds, and rediscover the way we are all of one creation.”
