Forgive me for sounding selfish, but here is what I am thinking today.
I was ten years younger, just turned 21, had a whole life in front of me
My dog Newton still was happily alive
My mom and dad were younger. So was my brother and sister, niece and nephew.
I didn’t meet my wife yet.
I didn’t have my job yet.
I didn’t have this website yet.
I still used AOL instant messenger and ICQ
I didn’t have a child..
I didn’t have a college degree yet.
I had trust in authority.
I had more privacy than I do today.
9/11/01 through 9/11/11… A lot of things around our world changed. And a lot of stuff in our collective lives changed, as did a lot of things in our private lives. Too much for comfort maybe.
…by the time 9/11/21 comes, God knows where we’ll be. But I can tell you 2021 will be here before we know it. Time continues no matter what we do to stop it. No plastic surgery will stop death. No amount of cream will stop wrinkles. No amount of liquor will stop grief. We are all in this together.
Evolution continues. Life continues…as those beams of light from Ground Zero softly go into the air.
Good evening, all.
