My Thoughts
Where were you that day, that time, September 11, 2001? Do you remember? The phone ringing beside the bed woke me up. Not yet aware of when or where, I heard her voice say, “Are you watching this? We are being attacked!” “What? Huh? What are you talking about?” Her voice screamed into my ear “Turn on the TV!! We are under attack!” Days passed without ending, without pause, glued to the screen, the whole world watching, hoping, wanting for it not to be true. Nightmarish images of bodies falling from the sky in desperate despair. There was nothing, nothing, nothing … but pain and horror and anguish and anger.
