I began reading Berry in 1988 atop a little mountain outside Anchorage; it was The Dream of the Earth. As I looked through the book I realized the Thomas Berry who authored it was the Thomas Berry with whom I long before took an undergrad course my senior year at Fordham in eastern philosophies. I was all attention. I thought as I read and have continued to think since that Berry is one of the half-dozen most valuable and relevant thinkers of our time.
