Text quote: Deborah Bird Rose
“‘We’ are all recursive ‘knots’ in time articulating moments between ancestral and future selves. At the same time, we are intimately and profoundly connected to all other things/beings that are themselves dynamic knots in time, together making patterns in a larger web of being. With species extinction in our current time of ecological crisis, there is a ‘double death’ because not only the individual instance dies but its recursiveness into the future and its patterns with all other futures are cut off.”
