Two boys, raised in the millennial world where their parents overprotected them, but abandoned them for their work. Each parent was very successful, but their children were left with loneliness and longing for love. They were raised in a digital world, full of toys and games. Their church brought the boys together. A promiscuous priest coerced them into sexual situations in the name of God. From this exposure, they developed a love for each other that continued through their childhood and into adulthood.Because of parental intervention, the boys went to different colleges and received their law degree. They still communicated and got together as often as they could. After graduation they planed a trip together. Then, at a party, they suddenly met a beautiful and remarkable girl who had also just graduated, and was also looking for a way to celebrate. The boys asked her to go with them on their trip. She was also a millennial, with wealthy parents, and they had a lot in common. As it turned out, the place where the boys wanted to go was the girl's family origin. She had friends there and knew all about the location.The boys and the girl jumped into a love all threesome. This was their anti-society outlook. Religious rules were made to be broken. Then the problems began to appear. They would work out a solution, but life always got in the way. The dilemma was almost predictable. Finding a solution was not.

Seit Jahren das Standardwerk der Tiefenökologie, ist dieses Buch nun endlich in deutscher Übersetzung erhältlich. Thomas Berry verbindet auf einzigartige Weise seinen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund mit seiner spirituellen Sichtweise des Lebens und entwickelt eine Vision eines zukunftsfähigen Zusammenlebens auf dieser Erde, die Ökologie, soziales Engagement, Politik, Erziehung und Spiritualität umfasst. Er spricht auf ergreifende Weise vom Wunder unserer Welt, bezeichnet unseren Planeten als den "Garten des Universums" und ermutigt uns der Erde in einer Weise des gegenseitigen Segnens zu begegnen. Berry tritt den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit mit einem mitfühlenden, weiten Herzen und einem großen Optimismus entgegen, untersucht scharfsinnig die kulturellen Gründe für unser oft ausbeuterisches Verhalten, plädiert in berührender Sprache für eine nachhaltige Gemeinschaft mit allem Lebendigen und wendet sich in großer Klarheit gegen die Vorstellung eines cartesianischen Maschinenuniversums.Dieses Buch kann wahrlich unsere Art zu leben verändern!
