I'm going to share something I couldn't for many, many years.... some of the poems/odes written by children who watched the planes hit, from their schoolyard. The cries of anguish and appeals to G-d, thanks to first responders, hopes for a better future...

Well, I still won't re-read or look long at this, as today I find myself familiarly numb, feeling only a dull recognition and some tears in my eyes for no "apparent" reason. I guess just the date and coverage is just one big trigger.... Don't look if it's a painful trigger.

Children's Reactions to the World Trade Center Disaster - September 11, 2001

"Love and Mercy, that's what you need tonight..."

The song which soothed & led me towards the light after days-weeks-months of trauma and sadness and helplessness following 9/11. Goosebumps listening to this in the years since. From the gods.... And that sensitive soul of Brian Wilson. How many times I listened to this in a state of despair in the wake of the incomprehensible. Yes, love & mercy are key to survival & healing.

Love and Mercy
