Another dark day "in infamy"

The images of September 11, 2001 are a chilling reminder of yet another dark day "in infamy," when the place we call home is blindsided, left shell-shocked, grief-stricken and bewildered. It is not likely we will ever forget, that day so reminiscent of the day JFK was assasinated, November 22, 1963. We who were around as children, can recall all these years later, vivid details of the time when it seemed like the whole world wept with despair, everything was dark, our country desperate for comfort amid the chaos, like so many countries, countrymen and women then and now still crying out for justice and peace yet without a voice, seeking solace, safety, a sanctuary to protect them and loved-ones from the harshness of others.

What I feel compelled to share with you, while looking at the pictures, which to me is a reminder of the cruelty humanity is capable of incurring upon one another...something Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese-American, artist, poet, writer, philosopher and theologian wrote in the 1920's and is particularly prophetic, profound and timeless; "THE BUTTERFLY WILL CONTINUE TO HOVER OVER THE FIELD AND THE DEWDROPS WILL STILL GLITTER UPON THE GRASS WHEN THE PYRAMINDS OF EGYPT ARE LEVELED AND THE SKYSCRAPERS OF NEW YORK ARE NO MORE."
Peace and love to you precious friend
