In this episode of the Forum podcast, our host performs a reading of “The Meadow Across the Creek,” a well-known essay by a very influential figure in the field of religion and ecology: Thomas Berry. It speaks to the importance of having meaningful connections to our embodiment and embeddedness in a living Earth community and an evolving universe. As we approach the end of the calendar year, a new year is returning, giving us time to re-read works that mean a lot to us. You can find this piece in Berry’s book, The Great Work: Our Way into the Future (1999).
