Subject: Fw: FWD: Roger Ebert: A Green Field
A Green Field / Roger Ebert
If there is to be a memorial, let it not be of stone and steel.
Fly no flag above it, for it is not the possession of a nation but a sorrow
shared with the world.
Let it be a green field, with trees and flowers. Let there be
paths that wind through the shade. Put out park benches where old people can
sun in the summertime, and a pond where children can skate in the winter.
Beneath this field will lie entombed forever some of the victims
of September 11. It is not where they thought to end their lives. Like the
sailors of the battleship Arizona, they rest where they fell.
Let this field stretch from one end of the destruction to the
other. Let this open space among the towers mark the emptiness in our
hearts. But do not make it a sad place. Give it no name. Let people
think of it as the green field. Every living thing that is planted there
will
show faith in the future.
Let students take a corner of the field and plant a crop there.
Perhaps corn, our native grain. Let the harvest be shared all over the
world, with friends and enemies, because that is the teaching of our
religions, and we must show that we practice them. Let the harvest show
that life prevails over death, and let the gifts show that we love our
neighbors.
Do not build again on this place. No building can stand there.
No building, no statue, no column, no arch, no symbol, no name, no date,
no statement. Just the comfort of the earth we share, to remind us that we
share it.
