Motherhood mirrors ecological resilience, requiring acceptance of transformation and recovery through challenges akin to natural processes like fire and regeneration.
Poet Robert Macfarlane savored the resilience of nature in a time when many think it cannot be restored. He pointed out that salmon appeared on the Klamath River only days after the removal of several dams were completed, writing in The New York Times: "Rivers are easily wounded, but given a chance, they revive with remarkable speed. Lazarus-like, their life pours back."
