From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen and Julian Yates
“To follow the raven’s flight is to make peace with the unpredictable, to concede that there are many ways of living in the difficult world, plots we may never know or fully understand.”
“The devastating floods around the world this year—in the Mediterranean region, as well as in areas of China, Brazil, India, and the US—have been mythic in scale. In our new climate reality, the kind of flooding held only in stories of divine vengeance is suddenly possible, unfolding in real time. Noah’s Ark, a narrative embedded deep in our collective imagination, endures as a kind of blueprint for how we envision such an event playing out. But what does this story tell us about survival beyond the restrictive bounds of the ark?
In light of the intensifying crises we face today, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen and Julian Yates consider two paths represented by two birds that travel with Noah on his Ark: one familiar, the other overlooked. The dove, well known for symbolizing peace, holds fast to the story of salvation for a chosen few. But the less-recognized raven, they suggest, inhabits the unpredictable, showing us a break from this scripted narrative and making room for the possibility of multiple paths of survival."
