Film: The New Yorker “Nine in Ninety” Series with Kelefa Sanneh

For many of us

there came a moment

or a moment in a long string of moments

in which we found ourselves

caught up

in something so beautiful

found ourselves

feeling alive

opened up

transported

into an experience

something like being caught up

in a song.

We saw and felt and tasted of

a kind of Life

so much bigger

than we ever imagined.

And yet

we longed to imagine it

and we're doing so,

together.

Whatever it was that triggered the spark

for each of us

however limited or unlimited we understood it

whatever we knew or didn't know to call it,

we found something in us saying "yes".

That's what this domain will explore,
shine a light on and celebrate.

The Yes Movement. The Yes People.
The Community of Yes.
