Am just getting ready to head into the the city.......puttin' on clothes, playing with hair, listening to NPR.
Brian Lehrer is one of my favorite journalists/host of radio on WNYC, I listen to him almost daily. Today he had a fabulous discussion about the current health care debate, but it was followed by a conversation with John Farmer about his new book covering the truths coming out about 9/11 and what was happening at a government and systemic level. Basically, there was no shit together and people lied about how situations were handled. Surprised? Not really, but we should know and we should react. Anyway, what really stopped me. What made me realize that I didn't need to keep touching my crazy hair and making mirror face was when he said "...Before the passengers took the plane down...." Whoa. People got together on the plane and took it down themselves to prevent a larger catastrophe that was surely inevitable. That's huge, it breaks my heart, it's beyond human and it is something I want to take with me.....forever, but especially today. Think about it and think about our potentials for destruction and for heroism. And how they can come together.......

Also, sorry it's been almost a month since a post. Or I guess I'm not. But don't think I don't care about you or have things to share. It always comes.
