Title A name given to the resource September 11 Digital Archive Stories Description An account of the resource This collection is the bulk of the archive, representing the reactions and experiences of thousands of individuals beginning in 2002. 911DA Story 911DA Story: Story Tell us about what you did, saw, or heard on September 11th. Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Although I was "safe" in my home on that deeply sorrowful day, I was still affected on not a physical level but a emotional and spiritual level...disbelief then shock then a mixture of fear, helplessness, compassion, confusion, and hopelessness flooded my being. What was next? And on this anniversary, some of the same feelings have resurfaced as though a year has not gone by; confusion being the greatest. How can we as human beings not recognize our connectedness on a daily, hourly, etc. basis...without a tragedy to thrust us into this recognition? How long will we go on without compassion for each other whether we are burning in buildings or parentless or hungry? When will we band together on a regular basis to give, to care for, and to love one another regardless of race, creed, or financial status? When will there be true equality, peace, and harmony amongst us? We are ONE people in a myriad of shapes and colors. We are ONE family, all children of God, brothers and sisters under ONE love. My heart aches to see the world going in the direction in which it is going. Retaliation, selfishness, intolerance, and thus self-destruction. Around the world, we die every day. Everytime some is murdered or starves to death, though that whole individuals dies..rings of death expand touching each one of us like a pebble dropped in a pond. What can we do to shift our current way of living other than by destroying ourselves? Food for thought: Love, too, multiples and touches many when expressed by just one individual. I have expressed not only my confusion but my feelings of hopelessness. But, everytime I awake and see the sun rise or hear of a baby being born...my hope is restored because that means that God still is willing to renew the opportunity for us. Fear is the absence if the presence of God..May God be with us all every minutes, hour, day or the year.
