“How can we think that we’ll ever stop the clear cuts in the forest if we’re so effective at clear cutting one another?… When we are disconnected from the earth, we make choices that harm it and don’t realize how we’re harming ourselves, how we’re harming future generations. When we’re disconnected from each other we can drop bombs on innocent people and call them a statistic.; we can buy clothes that are made in sweatshops and never think twice about it. These are the symptoms of a disease. And this disease is the Disease of Disconnect. The wounds on the earth and in the world are the outward manifestations of the wounds that we have within ourselves – and then we act it out on the earth, and we act it out on each other. These acts are the window, the magnifying glass into the woundedness within us. As much as I’ve stood up for the forests, I realize I wanted to work on healing of this Disease of Disconnect that’s at the root of all these symptoms.”
