That day will never NEVER be far from the frontlines of my mind. Sometimes I wonder why I can't move on, like so many have. Why does everything that goes on around me, bring back visions of that day? TV shows, things people say, whether they are saying them to me, or I just overhear them, an American Flag flying against the backdrop of a sunny day, a crying child, a confused look on the face of a stranger. Will I ever move past this? I don't know, but I do hope I work this one out before the next one hits...otherwise I'm not sure there's enough room inside for anymore disasters!
Good write Karla! Lisa

I think your analogy is a good one.

I'm taping the second part of 10.5 right now. I truly believe that is how mankind will meet its end some day - by a ravaged Mother Earth - seeking retribution for all the poisoning, pillaging, and ravaging we've done to her.

Cool analogy. Not sure I'd compare 9-11 with the silly movie though. But I love how you equated it with an actual shock.

(((Karla)))

This is intense, powerful, and heart shattering; love the comparison between the devastation we all felt in our hearts as we watched the horrific events unfolding on tv and the power and devastation felt during an especially strong earthquake: the result is the same, and once something like a strong earthquake or a terrorist attack happens, we are forever changed; we are no longer the same. BRAVA for a strong, much needed reminder!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :( >tears <
