I think this is a great perspective, thank you. It reminds me a bit of this post I saw yesterday about Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower: “Fires propel the plot…she acknowledges both its destruction and its capacity for rebirth. At the close of the novel, the community literally plants seeds in the ashes of a burnt space; fertile soil for a new beginning. I know it’s far too soon to be romanticizing what’s next. But as we grieve, worry and reel from this destruction…let’s also remember the our response can shape what grows from these ashes…we can honor the power of change, the urgency of community, and build infrastructure to care for each other - even when social systems fail.”
