I just heard about this - Thich Nhat Hanh will be giving a public speech in New York City on Sept. 25th - more information can be found at Plum Village. I wish so much that I could attend, but I'll look forward to reading a transcipt of his remarks.

For Warmth
I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands,
to keep my loneliness warm
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me in anger.

(note from Thich Nhat Hanh: I wrote this poem during the Vietnam War after I heard about the bombing of Ben Tre city. The city of 300,000 was destroyed because seven guerrillas shot several rounds of unsuccessful anti-aircraft gunfire and then left. My pain was profound.)
