As the millennium clatters toward us, optimists and doomsayers struggle over its symbolism as a new beginning or a fiery end. The all-female cast of contributors to The Fabric of the Future includes New Age matriarchs like Shakti Gawain and Brooke Medicine Eagle and thinkers drawn from a variety of life paths, such as Angeles Arrien, Joan Borysenko, Flor Fernandez, Gloria Steinem, and Nancy Mairs. Editor M.J. Ryan voices a collective impatience over the mounting anxieties of an age that seems to be spinning out of control. "I became tired with all this breaking down--I wanted to know what was breaking through," she writes. Luisah Teish chides the cultural tourism that has many New Agers rather arrogantly appropriating sacred symbols and practices of peoples around the globe, reducing them to "the fleeting diversions of Western spiritual adolescents." Only "a radical shift in conscience as well as consciousness" can wrest the future from the excesses of the past, she insists. Dawna Markova celebrates the power of stubborn will, the possibilities inherent in disillusionment, and the paradox of embracing the unknown to tap a more fluid intelligence than the one available to those who move through life on autopilot. The Fabric of the Future has its share of repetition and half-baked thought, but wins out by joining solid consideration of how the past has shaped the present with fresh perspectives on what we might aspire to in the hereafter. --Francesca Coltrera.
