hello?

HELLO?
My mind has been such a flurry with so many thoughts & emotions. Such a horrific act & a devastating tragedy. The property damage, the time it will take to repair. The loss of innocent life & the lives of those who were the first to respond to the call for help. I�ve been trying to make sense of it in my mind, to settle down from the shock of an attack on my home. I�ve tried to understand the magnitude of this event. There are some estimated 10 thousand people � more probably, that are dead. Hundreds of police & firemen, not to mention officials at the pentagon who were killed at almost the same time. It all seems so pointless and barbaric.

And why? For what? Though we don�t know for sure, FBI & other terrorist analysts are naming Saudi exile Osama bin Laden as the mastermind behind the plane bombings, who previously helped the CIA in the war against the Soviet army in Afghanistan & has now become our most hated enemy. His group, the Al-Qaeda, is responsible for the last WTC bombings & for about 80% of the terrorist activity in the US. There has been a quiet war going on for years, and we helped create this monster.

Of course, there is the possibility of internal terrorism, within our own borders we breed militant groups and armed school children. I question so many things about today, everyday. And I wonder how I can change things for the better.

I don�t think there is a "solution" that is so easily played out. I can only speak from my heart and support the notion that we can overcome anything someone else puts over us. That�s where true strength and courage comes from. It�s not about fighting it and perpetuating the war. More killing begets more killing. Let�s stop the killing. Maybe we can�t always stop others from killing, so lets stop the killing in our own hearts, the hurtful things we say, the negativity we put out to others.

My thoughts are with all those who have suffered a loss or are still waiting to confirm the condition of a loved one. May Love & Light surround you and give you the strength you need, the compassion you deserve, and the faith to carry on.
