Rivers possess legal rights similar to those of corporations, raising questions about their status as living entities. The 'rights of nature' movement has influenced legal protection for rivers, particularly in Ecuador, demonstrating a positive trend. Rivers demonstrate resilience, capable of self-healing when given the chance. In a separate narrative, a memoir reflects a Palestinian American poet's experiences of surrogate pregnancy intertwined with themes of infertility, displacement, and bicultural identity. The memoir showcases storytelling among women as a vital tool for continuity amidst personal and cultural disruptions.
In 2008, some precepts of the 'rights of nature' movement were enshrined in Ecuador's constitution, helping to protect the country's waterways—a cause for optimism.
Rivers are easily wounded, but given a chance, they heal themselves with remarkable speed.
Storytelling, especially among women, is shown as a means of establishing continuity, despite ruptures both geographic and political.
You exist in both identities like a ghost, belonging to neither.
