[Dialogue] Another World is Possible

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Hi Janice,
I do appreciate the poetry!  In fact, I fly with it.  Thanks for putting it on the dialogue.  I also like  Rabbi Lerner.
Charles

Subject: [Dialogue] Another World is Possible


I've become a huge fan of Rabbi Michael Lerner and the Network of Spiritual Progressives.  I'm still digesting implications from the June 11-13 conference in Washington DC that they organized - may share reflections later.  Tikkun is their excellent magazine.  Tikkun:  Hebrew for to heal and repair (the world).  Thought you would appreciate this poetry.

From Michael Lerner today (ICA-USA is sending a staff person to the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit.): 
 
This week’s spiritual wisdom was sent to us by a member of the Faith and Spirituality group with which Tikkun is working to plan many workshops, a service, and a sacred space at the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit, Michigan, June 22-26. The member, Louisa Davis, suggested this poem as a blessing for the social change work taking place at the forum:
Another World is Possible

>We can dream it in, with our eyes
>Open to this Beauty, to all
>That Earth gives each of us, each day
>Those miracles of dark and light–
>Rainlight, dawn, sun moon, snow, storm grey
>And the wide fields of night always
>Somewhere opening their flower
>stars – this, this! 
> 
>Another world is possible.
>With river and bird
>Sweet and free without fear, without
>minds blind to harmony, to how
>We can hold. We have been too long
>Spoiled greedy children of Earth, life of rocks and creatures
>Slipping out of our careless hands.
>We must stand now and learn to love
>As a Mother loves her child, each
>cell of her, each grain of her, each
>precious heartbeat of her that is
>Ourselves, our path and our journey
>Into our dream of future, where
>another world is possible
>cradling this one in its arms.
