Dear Ones,
In this amazingly moving book, Richard Powers ultimately offers us a “love without reassurance.” The spiritual core of Bewilderment is a call to awaken from our species-level solipsism (ego-centrism) . It suggests that our salvation—both psychological and ecological—relies on our willingness to move from a culture of accumulation and alienation to one of kinship and reverence for the larger living community. Even if we cannot halt the macro-catastrophes of our era, the act of fiercely loving the world and each other remains an absolute, non-negotiable spiritual triumph. This novel serves as a profound meditation on how we navigate grief—both personal and planetary—by shifting our perspective from the cosmic to the microscopic (of all things!). It is a compelling book that you won’t be able to put down! Come join us to share about these important ideas as a community!
