Yes. We have lost our way to become a society rife with anxiety, depression, physical disease, mental unwellness. And, we lash out as a result. A great part of this unraveling relates to a profound disconnect between the way we are living and the way our minds, bodies, and souls have evolved to live—in direct connection with the natural world. These are our brothers and sisters we're talking about. In my watery world, there are efforts to grant fundamental rights to rivers through a Unversal Declaration of the Rights of Rivers. Further, the countries of Columbia, Canada, New Zealand, and even the US, have granted legal personhood to specific rivers. Perhaps there's a model here? And, where I sign in support?

Not a sincere and genuine action to restore them, though.

To restore rivers? Agreed. Don't even get me started on water rights...
