The writer from La Rioja says: \u201cThe entity of my characters was not, therefore, exempted from an uncertain heroism, so Cervantine and quixotic, for the sake of a liberating and redeeming imagination, being perhaps heroes of failure, as I liked to call them, but not because of the precariousness of those who dispense with the passion of living, the aspiration of the lively person who may fail in his misguided or idealistic ways, whom reality defeats with the suffering of a wounded will or a contradicted common sense\u201d. Thus <strong>the comitants are these heroes and heroines (with a small h) who do not dispense with their passion for life, nor with their ideals, nor with their common sense, no matter how much it may be upset.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure data-ratio=\"auto\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/concomitentes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2.png\" alt=\"The commissioners, inhabitants of La Sobarriba, build the framework of their artistic work. \u00a9 Andr\u00e9 G.\"><figcaption>\n    The commissioners, inhabitants of La Sobarriba, build the framework of their artistic work. \u00a9 Andr\u00e9 G.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These neighbours gathered at the <strong>heat of imagination to rethink how the last phase of our concomitance is going, what possibilities are opening up for governance and co-management.<\/strong> Because, from rural areas, we know very well that only through a good use of the world can we survive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ursula K. Le Guin says in The Dispossessed that \u201cto make good use of the world, to stop wasting it and the time we spend in it, we have to relearn what it means to be in it\u201d. And being in this territory is meaning relearning through the masters who have inhabited it; like Justo who felt alienated from the claim of the <a href=\"https:\/\/concomitentes.org\/en\/protagonists\/the-citizens-platform-in-defence-of-sobarriba\/?proyecto=narrativas-solares\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Platform in Defence of La Sobarriba<\/a>, The world has begun to understand what they are, but by teaching us how to create seeds, it is also intervening in them, and teaching us to listen to the ground, to the sky, to each other and to our inner selves.<\/p>\n<figure data-ratio=\"auto\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/concomitentes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5.png\" alt=\"The artwork is a creation of Auxi Galvez and is composed of a frame of sbes woven with a local farmer. \u00a9 Andr\u00e9 G.\"><figcaption>\n    The artwork is a creation of Auxi Galvez and is composed of a frame of sbes woven with a local farmer. \u00a9 Andr\u00e9 G.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Y <strong>all of this is helping us and the organisations that accompany us to understand the place we inhabit from the human and, in this case, inter-species work, the work in which we find ourselves.<\/strong>.
