And the resilience of the human spirit.

Bruce springsteen wrote the most perfect song called "Empty Sky".

And when I think of what these ten years have brought us, it makes me want to weep. <br /><br />Today, I was walking up Broadway near 76th Street and heard bagpipes and I realized that there was a ceremony at one of the fire stations. I stood there with a crowd of people and the fire men and women in their dress uniforms and their families there, too, and I was so moved. <br /><br />Thank you for mentioning the Serenity Prayer, that was just what I needed to remember.<br /><br />And also for the reminder that there is still work to be done. You are such a powerful example of being the change in the world. Love you.Robin Amos Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285622375765910126noreply@blogger.com
