twenty-four years … 9/11

This picture always gives me hope.
One finds beauty where one can. Creates a world of wonder where one can. Insists on the good in the world where one can.
New Yorkers have been engaged in that for 24 years.
We move forward – some of us still not able to walk the hallowed grounds. Some of us mourning deaths as recent as this year that are directly attributable. Experiencing grief and its attendant feelings of loss, especially when thinking about a loved one who breathed in the dust working the pile day after day … now suffering, or having transitioned on.
It’s what we can’t bring ourselves to think about that really hurts. The losses upon losses both personal and in the world at large.
We pray for peace and the grace of peace. And pray some more and more again. Until next year … when we again feel the stab and pang of how senseless it all has been.
Think to ourselves, may the memory of those who perished be for a blessing.
