September 11, 2006 'Defenseless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame.' - September 1, 1939 W.H.Auden

on September 15, 2006A simple and poignant reminder.
You seem to have experienced it at a much more personal level than most of us. Hope none of us will have to face this again - once in a lifetime is traumatic enough. I was in Manhattan that morning till 6:00 am - I used to live in Princeton, NJ then. And I had friends working in the buildings.

on September 13, 2006thank you all.It's been five years since I walked in all that smoke, trying to reach loved ones, but it's difficult to forget and traumatic to remember.Auden and photographs say it better. thanks again.
