On a Day Like Today...

I think the above piece by Alex Ross and the following statement from Barack Obama this morning, recalling that on Sept. 11, 2001...

'Americans across our great country came together to stand with the families of the victims, to donate blood, to give to charity, and to say a prayer for our country...Let us renew that.'

...sums up my thoughts pretty well.

Take advantage of the political 'cease-fire' today...a day w/ no negative campaign ads, no 'he said/she said' political rallies...just remember the amazing unity shown in the face of great tragedy, say a prayer for the families/friends who suffered great loss, say thanks to the countless numbers of responders who provided hope in a time of unfathomable duress and appreciate the gifts of family/friends still with us. God bless you all.
