10 years.

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since those planes crashed on 9/11/2001. I was working on a golf course. I was with some co-workers, on the 18th hole, when someone pulled up, in a cart, and said for us to go to the club house - something was happening. We stood in front of the TV, by the bar, and watched. No one seemed to really know what was occurring. We couldn't believe our eyes.
Today, on TV, I watched some of the commemoration ceremony at ground zero - the reading of the names of the fallen. It went on and on. So many people.
Everyone still seems to be grappling with 9/11. What? How? Who? Why? Meanwhile, religious intolerance runs rampant throughout the world. I won't get into that, other than to say that we are all in this together. We're on the same small planet, hurtling through space. If we could just show each other (if not love) a little respect, then maybe our experience here would be a little more pleasant. And a lot less deadly.
