Cecile Pineda
Apology to a Whale

Cecile Pineda has the nerve to ask the one simple question that eludes our public posturing and computations. It is the one questions that could save us: What has happened to our mind that we are killing the world? What is it, at the root of our culture, that sets us against the rest of creation? Pineda’s writings pierce us with heartache for what we have lost, yet invite us to examine the imprisoning structures we embrace.

Pineda calls on us to recognize that our view of nature as a resource for convenience and profit is killing the planet. She calls on us to build our lives and our laws around the need to revere and protect the living earth and all its creatures. If the first step towards a cure is a proper diagnosis, Pineda moves us much closer to finding the cure for a culture that is killing the planet.

Cecile returns to OccupyForum this Monday evening to read from her book Apology to a Whale and lead a discussion about what humans have done to the planet, and how we can address it in our time.

Q&A and Announcements will follow. Donations to OccupyForum to cover our costs are encouraged; no one turned away!
