@Joanna, I love your point about our shared humanity. One thing that I believe many took away from 9/11, we are global citizens and no matter where in the world we live, we share the same joys, and struggles and grieve when one of our own is harmed or hurt.

@Wendi, I love your sentiment and join you in the quest to create a more loving world. Bravo!

@Lillie, *blushing*, oh thank you for those kind words. One generous spirit recognizes another dear Lillie.

@Friar, wow, I had no idea you were in the US when that happened. Your final comment sums it up ,beautiful, strange, sad and surreal. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the zombie like state I felt that day and in the days that followed.

@Evelyn, you are so right. We can take nothing for granted. I don’t live in fear but I do love in mindful joy.

@Andrew, I share your sentiments and join you in hoping that all over the world, no one has to ever suffer from cowardly acts. I hope for peace not just here but everywhere.

@Kyle, the link was a pleasure. I love your sincerity. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Thanks for the link.

This was by far one of the best posts I read yesterday.

Kyle Lacys last blog post..What Would Seth Do? Seth Godin and Compendium.

A very thoughtful post.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones, and are forced to endure a painful reminder of that cowardly attack on your country seven years ago.

Let’s hope and pray that there are no further attacks on innocent people in your country, and that people in America, as well as in every other part of the free world, can enjoy freedom from fear of such cowardly acts.

Cheers

Andrew

It was a 2 hour drive to the airport, and I caught some jumbled radio news story about a train tunnel in New York being evacuated. Radio reception was not that great, I didn’t think too much of it. Maybe a derailment or something.

I stopped in a gas station, and mentionned to the attendant did they hear anything from New York? He said the World Trade Center was GONE. The Pentagon got hit.

Whattya mean, GONE? I asked.

GONE, he said.

(Whaaat?). No way.

Didn’t know what else to do. I went to the airport, but of course, all flights were grounded.

The bush-pilot invited me into the office with his wife, to watch TV. We saw the Towers fall.

Here we were, surrounded by glaciers and mountain-fed streams. It was paradise. Yet on the other side of the continent, all hell was breaking loose.

What a beautiful, strange, sad, surreal day.

But I did wake up this morning not knowing that it was the eleventh. It was a coincendence that the world was weighing heavy on my mind when I woke up this morning after a significant experience I felt last night going over a few things on my blog. After I wrote about it and hit publish, I saw the post date of Sept 11 on the page. hmmm. It was appropriate but unplanned.

You Karen, are doing such a great job in bringing community together, I am always so inspired when I come here.
Also, Ellen Wilson too. She has a heart and soul to really make a difference and it shows in everything she does.

As for our day of rememberence, Let’s let it not just be a day for America, but let’s build a stronger and more loving entire world that can join together through the power of communication. I really believe it can be done.

I wouldn’t mention anyone specific here but I would like us to try and remember our common humanity however different our worlds, languages and cultures might appear. It seems like it’s the only way we’ll ever learn how to move forward in this world.
