Saturday, May 27 sorrow
Sometimes its hard not to feel like the world is coming to an end After the killer tsunami After watching the magical city of new Orleans literally drown There is a horrifying killer earthquake in Indonesia 2,500 dead and counting as of this morning.. I just don’t recall this amount of horror happening in such a short amount of time ever Am I right A day before yesterday, a low flying jet wizzed by, so low that it set off a car alarm in the projects..shortly after an entire fleet of jet fighters sped by, equally low.. My heart caught in my throat and I began to panic We were all thinking the same thing... “911” all over again.. New Yorkers don’t talk about September 11th anymore…but here especially in downtown Manhattan we feel it Turns out it was a military weekend here in NYC and some sort of a show of power display.. I guess I should have watched CNN the night before so I’d know that.. Anyway what I’m thinking about this morning is here I am it’s 2006 and “911” comes back in a second, maybe it never left from my phsyche I didn’t see my home buried. I didn’t suffer a wound, (unless you count having asthma ever after so hmm maybe that does count)…. How does one move on when you watch your entire family buried? When everything you own is under ground or under water? There but for the grace of god......I whisper... So much sadness in the world… I ask again was it always like this?
