  Connections: 9/11 – 20 Years Later

I made the decision to write my reflection on 9/11 after letting my soul sink deeply into the morning uninhibited by the struggle of what to say. I needed to simply allow my heart to listen for the whispers of God’s voice weeping through the voices of the 2,977 fellow human beings who no longer speak.
 In the morning silence 20 years later, I gratefully remember, and honor, those who practiced unselfish sacrifice as first responders.Twenty years later and words remain inadequate while my heart still grieves at how a human heart can conceive to do such a thing.
