So here’s a fun (if slightly obtuse) thought for a Saturday morning. I’m really interested in your playful answers although please feel free to take the question as seriously as you feel free enough to do.
The living bridges of Meghalaya take generations to compose but they can easily withstand the mega floods of the monsoon and last hundreds of years.
Could they be a metaphor for the sort of living human architecture and time scale that that we need in Northern Ireland to enable peace to navigate our seasonal political monsoons?
If so, what living root material do you think we could use to weave human bridges between the long divided parts of our society. (Just asking for a friend? ?)
