“The Speakers for the Dead are also tasked with bringing into mind and heart the new things of the earth, not only the symbionts and symanimants and their communities and corridors, but also the emerging kinds of beings and ways of life of an always evolving home world.

The Children of Compost would not cease the layered, curious practice of becoming with others for a habitable, flourishing world.”
