Every year on this day, phone calls and messages come through and waves of wonder, sadness, gratitude, and love blow through my heart.
I was a member of ‘the grief team’ for 9/11 and was assigned twenty women to work with for a year.
What is there to say? St. Exupery’s works were fundamental north stars for me in my youth…
From ‘Wind, Sand and Stars’:
“I swear that what I went through, no animal would have gone through.” This…There is no comradeship except through union in the same high effort.
I met these women when ashes were everywhere, and they Phoenixed. Each one in her own way in her own time.
What an honor to have been a witness….and cheirsh being a member of the human race.
