A shift

• Attempting to comprehend its immensity and fluid multiplicity alters us, making it possible to glimpse new continuities and connections.
• As the late Sven Lindqvist observes in his interrogation of the racist and genocidal foundations of European imperialism, “It is not knowledge we lack.

Beauty and astonishment

• How do we make sense of the disappearance of coral reefs, of dying kelp and collapsing ecosystems?
• How do we imagine a world in which the massing life that once inhabited not just the oceans but the earth and the sky is largely gone?

• Instead, grief must be part of a larger recognition that there is no longer any way back, that the only route now is forward.
• Surviving it demands we build a world that treats everybody – human and non-human – as worthy of life and possibility.
• I turn to look out to the horizon, its fading margin between sea and sky a space of grief, but also possibility.
