I love this piece - both for the content (thank you!) but also because the example you use (human-nature relationship) is a topic that I've been curious about. My big question lately has been "when did the separation of humans and nature begin, and why?" It seems like a psychosis, to dismember oneself and one's society from that most basic and necessary relationship, yet it persists and grows. I'm excited to learn more about your book on the topic!
Thanks, Julie! Yes, I agree, the disconnect is problematic in so many ways, both because it sanctions harm AND because it stands in the way of fixing that harm.
