While houses can be swept away or people may need to walk away from them, ideas of home and community travel with people wherever they go. Our imaginaries travel with us: internal plans for what can be rebuilt and how our new communities might look and feel.
Even children carry entire blueprints in their minds. Given the chance, their ideas for how to rebuild community are often visionary, concrete, and actionable. Engaging them in all phases of anticipatory action can be deeply meaningful on many levels – from the personally therapeutic to the collective resilience building.
Perhaps this is what the future of anticipatory action must focus on: not only lives and livelihoods, but the imaginaries that carry us through loss and change.
