We had reached an ecological era forcing us to ‘stay with the trouble’ of the encounters that we lacked the capacity to control. We had to engage in the complexity of the world. Floods became stronger, our defences weaker leaving no choice but to find rebirth from here. To become Metabolists Settlers, towards a new landscape.
