| | So....
watched lots of TV the last couple of days wanting to remember the attacks made on our country five years ago... remember the pain, the way it has changed us all, the fact that that was the first time Jeff and I got together after we met in July of 2001. So much in that day...
Watched a documentary about 9/11 and the affect it had on faith. Very good. It was relevant outside of being about 9/11, b/c it was about how to reconcile when really really really bad things, evil things, however you want to put it, happen in regards to faith. Hard stuff.
Pretend I had more to say than just sharing my thoughts on this one momentous day. I have had so many other thoughts today that stemmed from 9/11 but didn't stop there. Too many to count. Its just that its late and time for bed. Here's the thing---I want our society to remember that September 11th isn't the ONLY bad day in history... It would give it too much power. There have been the crusades, holocaust, wars, genocide, all exceeding this scope of hatred. 9/11 helps us remember that its out there, lurking--that there is evil out there to be had and it can breed and cause death if we aren't vigilant and careful. And it goes beyond the cliche words GW, or anyone, for that matter, uses to describe it. It can be as small as spreading a rumor about a friend, (or even not a friend!), to as large and momentous this awful display of murder we remember 5 years ago.
