Anniversary

[poliphilo]

I've just looked at the date.

Oh my- 9/11!

Why wasn't I apprised of this? Why weren't the papers full of commemorative stuff?

I guess because we've moved on. We have Iraq to worry about. Katrina has changed the paradigm just as the attack on the twin towers once did.

This is a fast-moving century.

We're packing more history into the available time than we ever did before.

I love the song. When she told the story of it, before I heard it for the first time, I felt it was exactly right. Romantic me, I love the idea of someone leading the souls to Grand Central Station and helping them find the right train. For all the people who had nothing to bury and only thoughts left of their loved ones, I hope the song is healing.
