Take hearts and minds and make them whole. Stir in us that sacred flame. Then send us forth to spread you name. It was last weekend that I was talking to a friend and we were discussing the events that have been shaping all of our lives since September 11, and I asked him how he thought people were coping. His response was filled with deep insight.
People just seem to be frozen.
We don't know what to make of all that has happened, and we don't know what's coming. We're waiting for the other shoe to drop. So people are doing only what needs to be done. We just don't seem to know how to move forward. I don't think it even takes a September 11 to identify with those words.
