Eco: home. Tone: tension. We must learn to be at home in the quivering tension of the in- between. No other home is available. In-between nature and culture, in-between biology and philosophy, in-between the human and everything we ram ourselves up against, everything we desperately shield ourselves from, everything we throw ourselves into, wrecked and recklessly, watching, amazed, as our skins become thinner.

-- Hydrofeminism: Or, On Becoming a Body of Water, Astrida Neimanis

“It is death for souls to become water.”

“But water proceeds from earth, and from water soul.”

“Souls, however, emerge as vapour from dampness.”

— Hericlitus
