While I appreciate it is not September 11 in America as I post this … and that I was not in America on that terrible day back in 2001 … I do have friends and colleagues who were and who were severely impacted by the events of that day.
And while I don’t allow comments on this blog anymore, I do know the people this post relates to, keep reading it, which is why I post this. To let them know I love them, am thinking of them, am thinking of how that day went down for you all and how I hope I get to see you all soon.
However, rather than write something new, I saw something I wrote back in 2012 and – with the US election in full swing and a World seemingly intent on tearing itself apart through the manipulation of certain fucked-up individuals – I thought the best thing I could do is repost it.
Not just because it’s [sadly] more appropriate now than maybe it was back then, but because I think Dave says things in ways I could never quite capture. Like the last line of his comment … because when I see how Trump, Musk and countless others are behaving, I can’t help but feel his view is not just on point, it’s a perspective that is spreading beyond the shores of America.
Anyway, with all that, here’s this …
Big hugs to you all.
I hope the memories of today are of the times before the pain.
