Weathering the storm: living with the power of cataclysm
Click for this Resource!
We owe our existence to the spectacular collapse of early stars. So the challenging power of cataclysm has been with us since the beginning. We live on a planet of shifting tectonic plates, which means we will face earthquakes and volcanoes. But that movement also means we are alive on a verdant earth. Then there are the cataclysms that we ourselves create. We are living through several right now. It’s the most difficult to live with of Brian Swimmes’ powers of the universe. But by allowing it to move through us, we clear the ground for profound creativity.
