I have written a chapter in the book titled Chimera Cyborg Creatures. An Ode to our dead horses. Here is a short quote on how I start my chapter:
Heart to heart, soul to soul…
The horse is a friendly reminder of re-connecting to the inner core
Allowing you to travel freely between human and more-than-human other worlds:
To penetrate the transparent membrane between life and death;
Assembling the human character inside a chimeric costume out of disparate parts – joined together
Abandoning humans’ inability to accept transience:
Blindness instinctively unveiled –
Breaking the doctrine of anthropocentric reality.
