A World That Forgot to Listen
Walk through any national park today and count how many people experience the landscape through a screen, capturing images to prove they were there rather than actually being there. We've become tourists in our own lives, physically present yet fundamentally absent. This disconnect isn't just unfortunate-it's catastrophic. As climate change accelerates and species vanish at alarming rates, we're discovering that recycling bins and solar panels, while necessary, won't save us. What we need is something far more radical: a complete transformation of how we see ourselves in relation to the living world. Our ancestors, from indigenous peoples to ancient civilizations, understood something we've forgotten-that nature isn't a collection of resources but a sacred presence. They didn't worship trees because they were primitive; they revered them because they understood what we've lost: that everything is connected, alive with meaning, and deserving of respect. The question isn't whether we can afford to change our minds. It's whether we can afford not to.
