How did we lose our connection to the natural world? Did the world of industry with factory shifts and a move into cities away from our agrarian-based societies break our ties with the Earth? Is this how we lost our connections with ourselves and one another?
When did we decide that we have dominion over all things instead of being a part of the living world? The concept of power as dominion seems to me to be a losing battle.
Living as I do with daily struggles with every aspect of my health, I have come to learn that warring with myself is in fact an internalization of this structure of hierarchy, or dominance. My symptoms are in that framework signs of weakness or being less than.
I no longer accept this status-quo. I no longer accept war inside of myself nor with others.
