The 100,000 Poets for change event was summed up for me in the words of Ana Elsner at the San Francisco Beat Museum reading hosted by David Madgalene and presented by Leah Lubin, “We had 9/11/01 with all that means and now we have 9/24/11 with all this promises.” The promise of 9/24/11 is just that at the moment but even so the event of thousands of poets all around the world lifting their voices as one for peace and sustainability signals a shift with enormous potential.
We will be listening to those poets and translating their messages for years to come and from this event may come a movement which will change the world in word and deed. But more than this, others must join in to enrich the conversation, help shape the agenda, focus the vision and enact the movement to fulfill the promises. Michael Rothenberg worked tirelessly to bring about this vision and part of his genius is his recognition that it is not about him but about us, our vision, our voice and our world.
The voices and visionaries of 9/24/11 have lit candles in the dark that has shadowed us since 9/11/01 and gathered them in one day and night into a mighty beacon to illuminate the world. With more candles in the dark all over the world may come a movement to illuminate, and heal and show the way forward. Will one of those candles be yours?
