On August 1, 2007, the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, MN, collapsed, injuring dozens and killing thirteen. It was a traumatic event for many, but for Medora Woods it was something more: a representation of the destruction caused by a society on its way to extinction. For us to transform this destruction into something more, we need a new paradigm: one of collective creation and change.Collapse is an exploration of creative energy and transformation in the collective-organizations, communities, nations-and in our own lives. It is part memoir, exploring how following creative energy has worked in Medora's own life, and part exploration of the images which inform our attitudes toward community, its creation, and its sustenance. The need for personal and collective transformation is right in front of us.Old structures are failing, and the new alternatives need every bit of support that any of us can give them. If we understand the failing of old structures to be a necessary prelude to transformation, it can help the fear and anxiety that the loss of a familiar world inevitably brings.
