Nine-Eleven

Nine-Eleven has moved through the gestation of time. It has changed our hearts and hopes. It has changed the way we live and the fears we embrace. It has joined the despicable annals of infamy: the Alamo, the sinking of the Maine, and Pearl Harbor.

On this anniversary we continue to look ahead with hope, and behind to memories and memorials.
To remember the nine-eleven story with the honor it deserves we need the compassion of our hearts and the healing acknowledgement of something greater than ourselves.

Each anniversary has its moments of sadness, but our collective loss is balanced with tribute and sacred ceremonies. Individual losses can never be assuaged.

New tears and old pain stand alongside the elements of grace and bravery that embraced that day thirteen-years ago.

Let us remember to be diligent and determined that our homeland is secure and no other misfits will penetrate the peace we seek and the peace we are.
