“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Never Forget

11 September, 2006 /

Not that you could get away from it if you tried. Rather than posting a big story about where I was or who was to blame, or how America has changed since 9/11/2001, I decided to limit this post to one man that died on September 11.

Kevin Cosgrove was a 46 year old claims vice president from Aon Corporation, which was located on the 105th floor of the World Trade Center, Building One. After calling several relatives, he called 911 for help.

Kevin was not a fireman, not a police officer. He was just a guy going to work. We all have devastating images burned into our memories from this day. But in the trial of Zacarius Moussaoui, Kevin’s 911 call was the audio that was played.

THIS is Kevin’s final call.
