because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while i was sleeping
and the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
within the sound of silence
-paul simon
it's hard to believe it's been ten years since the 9/11 attacks on our country. like everyone else, i can remember the exact accounts of that entire day. a sense of shock that turned to a feeling of overwhelming sadness then to anger and then finally to strength. the days following the attacks, i never felt more proud to be an american... to be a new yorker. much to my surprise, yesterday was the first september 11th, since the horrific day 10 years ago, that i was in new york. and with that, all those original feelings came back. shock. sadness. anger. strength. i watched the memorial coverage, walked around the city, and, once again, felt that sense of pride. i think they did an amazing job on the memorial site. truly a place of remembrance. when i went to bed and looked out my window i saw those two powerful lights shine straight up into the sky, shining bright amongst the city's buildings, creating new york's original skyline.
