«¿Cómo calcular sobre lo imprevisible…?» Rebecca Solnit en The Art Of Getting Lost

«¿Cómo calcular sobre lo imprevisible? Pareciera un arte de reconocer el rol de lo imprevisible, de mantener el equilibrio entre las sorpresas, de colaborar con la suerte, de reconocer que hay algunos misterios esenciales en el mundo y por tanto un límite para el cálculo, para planificar, para controlar. Tal vez, calcular sobre lo imprevisible sea exactamente la paradójica operación que la vida más requiere de nosotras.”

Rebecca Solnit. The Art Of Getting Lost

«How do you calculate upon the unforeseen? It seems to be an art of recognizing the role of the unforeseen, of keeping your balance amid surprises, of collaborating with chance, of recognizing that there are some essential mysteries in the world and thereby a limit to calculation, to plan, to control. To calculate un the unforeseen is perhaps exactly the paradoxical operation that life most requires of us.”

Feral Atlas

«Feral effects can be wonderful or terrible. Humans would all be dead without feral effects. If human landscape transformation was as effective as modernist dreamers claim in replacing earlier ecologies, we might have no more forests or fisheries. Forests grow back, fish escape and reproduce: in such instances, we are lucky to live with feral effects. At the same time, feral effects can kill us, both humans and nonhumans.»
