Moments That Speak : Stories & Images of Connection

What are the moments that connect us? What are the moments that change us? This book celebrates personal stories and images of transformative connection gathered from around the world through a youth-led initiative inspired by the Earth Charter.

Some speak to unexpected connections between people that cross boundaries of social division and crisis.

Others speak to profound personal experiences of connection with the natural or spiritual world.

Every moment is unique, and all speak to a message of hope: the power of a single moment of connection to affect great change at a time in which great change -- at every level -- is needed.

The book features contributions by Wangari Maathai, David Suzuki, Mary Evelyn Tucker, and Leonardo Boff , as well as many other moving stories and images of connection contributed by people all over the world.

The beautiful and diverse photos and stories gathered in this unique compilation embody compassion, celebrate wonder, and are testaments of hope.
