The imagery of the crumbling of the building keeps flashing back at me while I was reading your poem. I couldn't believe it was happening even I knew it was true when I watched the TV. I can't imagine the terrors that went inside the heads of those who were in that building. Worse yet, some were not working in the building, but were there just for the day to attend a meeting...

Very powerfully-written!

Your recollection of those tragic events still brings goosebumps to my skin and a dagger to my heart. I would like to say that I have healed, but honest prohibits me from saying that. Terrorism is a strange type of war...those people ask for nothing, they are not like the usual enemy, all they want is wide-spread pain and destruction, over and over again. How do we deal with such an enemy? How do we forgive them and love them, because after all, they are our brothers and sisters and they are God's children. Thank you for taking my challenge, Abdi-Noor and thank you for putting your memories of that day on the board so that together, perhaps we can find healing.
Take care,
Sherry

I shall never forget the following days as the TV inundated us for hours on end and I thought when will the madness stop. A small voice said never in your lifetime without the intervention of those concerned with the healing of the planet and its' people. 911 is indeed an international emergency call. Peace, love, and blessings to you and yours little brother. <Mikii>
