An Open Letter To NYC

Thank you to Eric and Sarah for reminding me of this song today.

Nothing stumps me like this day and I don't really know what to say. There's a mix of appreciation for life, love and community - but then there's also sadness, anger, fear. All that is suddenly back and so it should be.

Even though you thought: this year it won't matter so much - again it does. My friend, who 8 years ago was the one who told me that the first plane had hit, just called and expressed how every year on the morning of September 11th it takes you by surprise just like it did that morning.
