"In the Absence of the Ordinary is filled with treasures of insight from the heart of a wise, poetic, and fearless guide for exploring the shadowy terrain of the soul. He reaches deep into the holy ground of our awakening — both individual and collective — and with fierce kindness, invites us to become purposeful apprentices of fear, sorrow, and loss. Francis Weller knows that beyond sorrow is new possibility that can be discovered in our encounter with soul loss and renewal. Weller offers a compassionate and prophetic voice as we navigate our world in great transition and cross the threshold from our adolescence and into our early adulthood as a human community. Weller offers an inspired, uplifting, and unique voice for moving into our deeply uncertain future. I highly recommend this book."
— Duane Elgin, author of Choosing Earth, The Living Universe, and Voluntary Simplicity.
