The Great Work Lyrics

"The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is
to carry out the transition from a period of human
devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be
present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner.
Our own special role, which we will hand on to our
children, is that of managing the arduous transition from the terminal Cenozoic to the emerging Ecozoic Era, the
period when humans will be present to the planet as
participating members of the comprehensive Earth
community."
[- Thomas Berry, The Great Work, 2000]
