Reflections on Sandy from Phoebe's facebook page, posted around midnight, November 2nd when the power in the East Village was finally restored after 5 days:
This has been a great lesson for us. Trillions
of electrons wash our clothes for us, transport us, make our music for
us; electrons transform the dark and lonely night into a place of safety
and warmth; and electrons create a fools paradise where corporate
supermarkets bulge with abundance of exotic fruits, meats and
vegetables. Ah Yes! But the complaint I heard most around the East
Village was "My phone doesn't work. I
can't get on the internet!" Electrons are the Web upon which our loved
is laced - zillions of 1's and 0's fly at the speed of light across the
globe, electrons form words of care and concern that race
instantaneously from mind to mind! Oh my friends, we have learned that
the hands that grant us access to trillions and trillions of electronic
slaves are the hands that can plunge us instantly into hunger, fear,
darkness and cold. But we have also learned another lesson: We can live
without electrons. We have learned that We are the light. We are the
message. We are the music. Above all we have learned the home truth that
another body is the best lamp and the best heater on a cold night in
November in the Northeast!! Ah Ho! Hello! Hello! Hello! We are still
alive and we have grown. World Mother! Nature Mother! Great Spirit! We
honor Your Power and Your Storm! Forgive us our trespasses! GREEN POWER
NOW! Long Live the East Village! Long Live Downtown! Viva Nueva York!
