Description

I think of my ancestors, stretching back into the Holocene and before. What did their love look like? Did they have children with my diseases? Did they grieve them? What was it like for them to hold their children, their child? I think forward to my children, and their children, and their children’s children. I feel the world in pain, a geological pain. I feel eco-sickness as I breathe in the smoke from the forest fires in the north west east south. I feel eco-anxieties as a rain hits, one that hits particularly hard, that pours over my gutters and breaks my ancient elm tree. What will their world be like? How could I have brought them into this? I feel intense guilt. In 2046 Elliot will be my age now. Mary 2049. They will have first-hand experience of a natural disaster, the loss of everything in everything everywhere. What impact will that have on their psyche? Will these eco-traumas begin an epigenetic cascade into a bipolar episode? Will I hold Ellie, Mary like my father holds me?
