Thomas Berry writes, “It’s all a question of story. We are in trouble just now because we do not have a good story. We are in between stories. The old story, the account of how we fit into it, is no longer effective. Yet we have not learned the new story.” In the book Coming Back to Life, which serves as the foundation for group practices known as the “Work That Reconnects”, Joanna Macy and Molly Brown write about the “Three Stories of Our Time” - all of which are happening. Of course, these stories are just one way of making sense of what is occurring in the United States and other industrial growth societies, but I have found them a very helpful orientation as I find myself fluctuating between them on a daily - if not hourly basis.
