Three great ecopsych quotes

Here are three powerful quotations offered by Linda Buzzell, co-editor of the 2010 (or was it 2009?) anthology "Ecotherapy". These are for the the upcoming edition of Ecotherapy News (soon to be published at www.ecotherapyheals.com - click on "newsletter" to see the current edition).

“From the awakened perspective of the human animal, awareness (or mind) is not an exclusive possession of our species but a lucid quality of the biosphere itself—a quality in which we, along with the oaks and the spiders, steadily participate.” 
~ David Abram, Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology 

“It may well be that more and more of what people bring before doctors and therapists for treatment—agonies of body and spirit—are symptoms of the biospheric emergency registering at the most intimate level of life. The Earth hurts, and we hurt with it.” 
~ Theodore Roszak, Voice of the Earth 

"The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world - we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other." 
~ Joanna Macy
