In her reflection titled "Disconnection," Julia Butterfly Hill introduces "separation syndrome" as the fatal consequence of severing our ties to life. She illustrates this by noting that a plant dies when its roots are ripped from the earth, mirroring how humanity perishes when we detach from our connected consciousness.

Hill argues that this profound disconnection leads to the demise of our planet, our human families, and the entire global family. Her message underscores the critical importance of recognizing and nurturing our interconnectedness for collective survival.
