What happened to Jish today is *exactly* what we DO NOT need to be doing right now. Argh.
It’s a new day. We are still here. We are not at war yet. As you can see from my posts last night, I am trying to think about other things. Not easy when everything you read, everything on TV, all seems to be about the horrible events of Tuesday.
I mentioned to Kymberlie last night, one of the first things we discussed on Tuesday morning while watching the world as we know it crumble away… do you think they intentionally choose “UNITED” and “AMERICAN” flights for the symbolism of the names? United States of America … impacted by United and American flights. And 9-11 … was the date even selected for the symbolism of our 9-1-1 system? Something I keep wondering about over an over. The part about the airline names really bothers me. I am not sure why.
Tuesday when I finally forced myself to leave the news and go get lunch, I had the sunroof open, and I was listening to James Taylor’s Greatest Hits CD. “Fire and Rain”. Just go listen to it. I can’t explain all the emotions that go through me every time I listen to that song. I keep listening to that CD. His voice soothes me, it makes me feel calm when – well, to be honest, I don’t feel safe. But I have to work, I have to think about other things…
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you fire and rain, now

I think it was stategically planned that way. The whole series of events and the aftermath are bothersome. But, united together as a country, we will survive!
Holy cow. I have heard that song a thousand times, I love it. But I never realized it was about a plane crash! I guess I never really listened to the lyrics. Thank you.
We always think we will see the people we love again…
The date itself, while extremely odd that it works out to read 9-1-1, isn’t really about marking that day as destroying that day. You see, and I guess we have all forgotten this, that day has been used for years now to mark, internationally I think if not just int NA, the day of peace. It was well planned indeed.
Really, it doesn’t mean anything… just sorta creepy…
And that whole 11 thing is just spooky.
Okay, I can’t find it, but I know someone who can. I will ask him to dig it up for us online. He does that for a living. Post back as soon as I can.
