El Holoceno, ese período de estabilidad climática que nos ha permitido florecer como especie y construir civilizaciones, puede pasar a ser un recuerdo. El Holoceno representa un intervalo de gracia, que nos ha permitido cultivar los alimentos que sustentan nuestra vida.  Es un susurro de estabilidad en el caos del tiempo geológico. Comprender las dinámicas del Holoceno es fundamental para valorar la fragilidad de nuestro planeta y tomar medidas para asegurar un futuro sostenible. Sin embargo, esta ventana de oportunidad se está cerrando, dejando tras de sí un profundo anhelo por un pasado que ya no volverá.

As scientific understanding has grown, so our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional “unconscious identity” with natural phenomena. These have slowly lost their symbolic implications. Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree is the life principle of a man, no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants, and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied.
