The 9/11 television retrospectives and documentaries are coming fast and furious. All the images of the towers toppling are all coming back…are all around us and in us. Time has done nothing to soften the blows. It is all still so close to the surface. A year has done little to heal this outrage. In some ways the images are even more distressing and unreal after not having seen them in a while. I was in New York in August and I stood at the site, and I still cannot comprehend it. It does not sink in. In my minds eye, those buildings are still standing there. Let us all go easy on ourselves during this week. This is a difficult time. Even if we think we are past it, we cannot help but be traumatized by it again. We are simply not past it yet. The human soul is injured, and the sights and sounds of the season will bring it all back. Be aware. More than we realize, this is a haunted time of year now. Be aware…think twice, think three times. The terror is still there, and it has an influence on all of us. Don’t be fooled, anniversaries are real and significant.
I have nothing else to say, except that…
The day beings…
