Introduction When I became a mother, the world instantly looked differ- ent. Like the fairy-tale king who ate of the white snake and at once understood the speech of the animals, within days of my daughter's birth I began to experience powerful reactions to the tragedies shown on the evening news. Reports of pit-bull attacks, the angry recounting by an old Chinese peasant woman of how desperate poverty had driven her to kill her own baby some forty years back, left me tormented and unable to sleep. Suddenly the full horror of child abduction or abuse came home to me. I saw a Mozambique child vainly trying to suck milk from breasts that were mere empty flaps, and I looked down to see my own fat infant drinking from my full breast~ I became stunningly aware that I held the future in my arms. As parents we are called to recreate the world with each new generation, and at this time in history, few of us holdcomfortable assumptions about what the future will bring.Some are frightened, but others find the uncertainty excitingand inspiring. A widespread reawakening of the human spirit is takingplace all over the world. The arid materialism of the mid-twentieth century has collapsed in the aftermath of thesixties, and people on many continents are responding to ahunger for spiritual sustenance.
