There are good floods and bad floods

The cycle of life needs to follow a pattern of good fire, good rain and good flood. “You need the right floods… that the environment needs, the plants, the animals, us as people, you know, to survive again… We can’t have the bad floods like we have now… Just like good fire and bad fire, there’s a big difference.”
