One thing that...Very apropos piece, given the day.<br /><br />One thing that is pretty tangential that I'd say about human nature is that the way the country and the world opened after 9/11 is the kind of event that seems to be ephemeral by its nature. I remember that after the big earthquake in Santa Cruz in 1989 that everything stopped and then started again in a way that seemed positive and new. It didn't last. Once the prospect of normality arose again, everyone reached for it. I think it's understandable, because dealing with the new and unknown is very difficult and can only be done in spurts--I won't say 'gradually'. But I feel privileged to have been given a glimpse of another way of being in those post earthquake days. Don't know what to make of it exactly, but I'm glad to have witnessed them. seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
