United & Together

When
the Spirits of 11 September
are going to return
if you have nothing good and compassionate to say
I beg you: do not say anything.
Let them tell again and again and again
the story of heroism that is written
in one of the most beautiful pages of human history.

That morning of September
They paid with Their Lives
the Price of our Freedom.
Therefore
while we believe They are dead
They Live Forever
and now They are Free.

A day of the first world war
someone asked Rudolf Steiner because young lives
were shattered by the thousands in the absurd war.
Steiner replied that sometimes young people die
because they must be born again bringing alive
the revolutionary Spirit typical of youth.
I can't ask Steiner
why 11 September has seen thousands of young heroes die.
I cannot ask anyone why of that terrible tragedy.
The world has too much to do to stop and reflect and give me an answer.
So I have to ask me the reason for those lives are broken
and I have to give me an answer that nobody knows me.
And the answer comes from my instinct that tells me:
no one can die in vain
no one should die in vain.
I know that the heroes of September 11 will return to regain the affections,
to review the small children grew stronger and more aware
thanks to their tragedy.
But I also know that I don't have time to wait
(my character and my fate did not allow it).
So, I look at you, American Friends
in these days dedicated to the Memory of September 11
by Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel.
You are still strong and joyful also in this time of crisis.
And I think, Friends of America
that your strength, as well as my own
comes also from the example that the deaths of 11 September have left.
If it is true, how true is it that nobody dies in vain
I remember the day when hundreds of everyday heroes
sacrificed their youth to the community under attack
must remain a symbol of Human greatness
when the few sacrificed their lives for the benefit of many.
There is only one truth about September 11:
three thousand dead.
Counting at least ten people between relatives and friends for each victim
we can imagine three hundred thousand desperate people
that day that fathers and mothers and brothers and sons and friends
did not return home.
Three hundred thousand people
and a Nation stunned in front of the storage of meat and dust
at Ground Zero.
Each of us has lived its personal gound zero
each of us knows
the failure of ideals or family or this civilization in disarray.
But if we look to our tragedy with "other eyes"
we realize that our pain is tiny in the face of the tragedy of others.
The Heroes of September 11
have taught me to resize my little tragedy
looking at the greatest tragedy of an entire community.
And I would that my Italy took the reins of its ancient fate
and returned to teach the Italian people
that it is possible that we suffer less if, while the storm rages,
we take care of others.
But if it does not seem to be I look over the ocean.
And I see the Spirits of the 11 September flying on the sky
still alive, still young, live for ever
to remind us all that die for others is the Seals of Heroes.
Today it is no longer the time heroes
they become nightmare in the minds of those
who do not want to do anything for anybody.
For this, I return back to Steiner
and young soldiers massacred in this useless war.
I return back to the Soldiers massacred in World War II
because we Europeans reach our Freedom.
I return back to that black Tuesday, ten years ago
when hundreds of Heroes died to save others.
Return back to this moment in which perhaps
are dying Firefighters and RescueMen and Volunteers and Soldiers
and all those who are working (and dying) to the community.
But they does not have a right to see written their name in history.
Today I write the story, not others.
In my mind forever remain alive
all Men who work at the service of the human community.
God bless you, America Amazing Country.
Your role is to tell the Heroes of Everyday Life.
For this you'll be the First Country.
For this you are Teacher of the Peoples.
For this you cannot die, America The Beautiful.
Good New Day America.
Together we will live this tenth anniversary of the 9/11.
Together with American People
together with the long weekend of Fox News Channel
together with National Geographic & Discovery Channel
we will remind People of Good Will
who does not find space in Italian history.
If this my Country has forgotten heroes of his last tragedy
(the Abruzzo earthquake)
if the entire Italian television ignores the heroes of everyday life
together with the Americans
thanks to the internet and good television we will say:
THANK YOU, HEROES!
THANKS UNKNOWN WORKERS OF INTELLIGENCE!
THANKS SOLDIERS!
THANKS FIREFIGHTERS & RESCUEMEN & VOLUNTEERS!
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO WORKED IN SILENT COURAGE
FOR THE HUMAN COMMUNITY!
All of them, the Heroes of Everyday Life
they paid and pay the price of Freedom, of the greatness of their nation
of all daily emergencies and of our daily peace.
If the world has to do and say "better"
If the world has forgotten the hard work of those who spend their lives for us all, if the "trend" with regard to the 11 September is to look for "other truth" or "other dietrologies", then the whole world fell into a serious mistake.
Because there is always a ground zero hidden in our fate
be it personal, national, or global.
And when it will happen what is going to happen
when the Destiny asks each of us another price of Freedom or of Life
I would ask people all if they are prepared and trained to answer
"PRESENT!"
It happened at N.Y & Washington-the Pentagon
at Flight 93, at the flight controllers, flight attendants, crews & passengers
and on the ground between the Firefighters and Policemen
and everywhere among the simple people
it happened that all the American People with a single Voice Unit
elevated his "PRESENT!"
into the sky where they flew thousands Spirits still alive.
It was a Tuesday in September.
The sky was blue, the sun still hot
when America under attack for once again she taught the whole world
that WE CAN respond to the tragedy, from any part of it.
There is only one Truth in September 11.
It says: UNITED & TOGETHER.
Like a dream of Freedom in Common Work called
the United States of America.
& I'll never forget his Heroes.

A New Beginning

Ten years after
I watch the new beginning because, whatever happens,
there is always a new beginning in America.
It's the people who work frantically to rebuild the towers
the most beautiful and safest that we can imagine.
It's my people narrated by Discovery Channel in his " Rising ".
And I can't believe my tired eyes:
is an enthusiasm that excites.
In the eyes, headings, expeditious work of "carpenters of the sky",
under the snow during the cold winter,
under the Sun that bakes and winds that threaten to wipe out,
a perfect team reconstructs from the ashes of the past that will not pass.
Someone is singing from morning to evening while provides to his hard work.
A Girl-Carpenter smiling full of joy, proud of its work.
Some people in the team had fathers and grandfathers
who emigrated to the USA from every corner of the world.
Watch them as they rebuild a New Beginning
is a symbol of true peace and real hope, in my mind and in my heart.
It was everything I wanted to see.
A New Beginning that does not forget the Pain and Memory.
But Together
United us with the Heroes of the Past and present heroes
together we start the journey.
Also this is the America that teaches all of us:
there is always a New Beginning.

with infinite gratitude to all Them by
