So many stories...

We're beginning to hear the personal stories now - so touching, so poignant, so human. Tributes and memorials are pouring from the hearts of people who have been touched by this tragic event. So many mixed feelings, yet all these feelings are normal and natural in response to a very unnatural event.

rivers run...
the sun shines...
sometimes it rains.
the world keeps turning...
life goes on
but not the same...
never the same...
never again the same...
perhaps more precious, now.
~ Jamie Karson

The victims in the planes and buildings have shown us the most important lesson in all of this - their last acts were to reach out to say "I love you". When faced with the reality that all we have is the present moment in such an urgent way, they understood what is important.

Every day, every moment, the now is...

I love you.
