9|11
Filed under: Life's Journey
One of the things I love about blogs is the archival of thought. From the immature and insignificant to the more meaning filled meanderings, it's cool to have a digital reference point for a brain that thinks all sorts of things.
Today was no exception as I re-read something I wrote shortly after September 11, 2001. I originally scribbled these thoughts on a piece of legal paper, then found it a few years later and typed it on this blog on September 11, 2004.
Reading this six years later is a little awkward. It feels vulnerable, naive and trite. Yet at the same time it takes me back to that horrific day in the history of America. My generation's version of "the day JFK was shot."
Today during our weekly "reflection" time, each of us on the Personality team shared exactly what we were doing when we heard the news of 9|11. Pretty powerful stuff.
Also very wild to remember that Jamaica and I were on a plane two weeks prior to 9|11 (same airline, same destination, same flight number) that went from Boston (en route to LAX) and crashed into the World Trade Center.
This picture is one we took overlooking "Ground Zero" from our room at the Millennium Hilton, where we stayed last month on our way back from Israel and Istanbul.
