I hope that everyone will take time out to remember the lives lost and the survivors of this terrible attack. Don't forget all of our service men and women. God Bless the USA and Mother Earth.
Whenever my thoughts drift over this event I remember every detail of it - down to how beautiful of a crisp September morning it was, down to the smell of the air, for just a brief period of time before the towers were hit and the news broke. If you have an American flag, this is the day to let it fly in remembrance of this tragic event and those who perished on that day.

I will never forget that day. My friends and me were in New York because of Michael's 30th anniversary concerts at Madison Square Garden. For us it was heaven at one moment and in the blinking of an eye heaven turned to hell. We were terrified and it felt like the beginning of World War III (well, I guess somehow it was).
I feel very sorry for all the people who died, for their families and for all those who are now, years later, very sick due to the dangerous dust in the air. Many of them are now forgotten heros.
Since that time, my friends and me do not work on that day. We always spend the day together...as we will today...and are very thankful that we were not harmed and could travel back home to our families and friends. Our heart is in N.Y. today. ---------- "...be alive, be free, feel consciousness, subsciousness, being GOD..." MJ

IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE
When the world is sad and dreary Like in heaven of solid ground When the world is cold and weary Love can turn it around If you only believe
Just believe in the blessing of life In the good and the just And the fair and the right If you only believe
If you only believe Just belive in the blessing of life In the pure and the sane And the truth and the light In the power of Love
If you live in fear or danger You can bring this to an end Just by starting helping out a stranger Turn him to a friend
Rejoice and comfort me And we will flower just implant the seed When you give the gift of Love you will learn That you will get Love in return
If you only believe Just belive in the blessing of life In the good and just and the Fair and the right In the power of Love
And true Love is what you really feel You can erase a world sorrow You will find the Love you really give Can create a great tomorrow
There is a need for a helping hand Family to family , one to one Time for all of us to understand That the job can be done
If you only believe Just belive in the blessing of life In the good and just and the Fair the right In the power of Love

thank you for your wonderful and very touching posts.
I recall each single moment of that day. I came back from a walk with my 3 months old daughter when a neighbor told me that aeroplanes had hit skyscrapers in America and they would burn and that there was a desaster going on..... . I immediately turned on TV to know what had really happened. My baby lay on my breast save and sure while I was watching this horror - and I could not believe what I saw - people waiting for help on the roofs, people waving from the windows hoping to be saved, people jumping out of the windows hoping to find a faster death without great suffering..... Some weeks ago German TV broadcasted a documentary about 9/11. There people suffering the consequences told that they did not have any real or any support at all from the state though promised. Same, Sunflower, as after Katrina.
I think there is nothing more to add as all speaks itself.
My heart goes out to all those who lost their lives in this desaster as well as to their families and to all those suffering the consequences. You are all Heroes and we will always remember your sacrifice.
Recalling all this I want to say: We will change the world with our Love and by belief that the good and truth prevail!
My heart goes out to the whole people of the USA. I love you all. And I will be with you today in my heart and in my thoughts.
Thank you all who've posted here! I clearly recall having the Today Show on while raceing around getting ready for work when the utterly surreal news & visual scenes of the attack were shown (which you all have already described so well). What a struggle it was to even think about getting ready for work while such an 'unspeakable event was under way, and then perform 'business as usual' once at work.
This is, however, the first time I'm revisiting this day with a much broader sense of awareness regarding the truth of all that was really behind these events, Thanks to Bonnie and all of you who have posted so many valuable videos, etc., wakeing us up!!
I just wanted to say thank you for all these beautiful posts...:) I am born and raised in New York City and have lived here all my life.
That day I spent 7 hours wondering if I had become a widow at the age of 33. I was fortunate. My husband came through the door with not even a scratch. Many others were not so lucky.
You can't live here and not know someone who suffered loss on that day. I know several. For a city with millions of people in it - we know each other as well as any small town would.
I did not know Michael was here at the time of the attacks until long after it had happened...
Count your lucky stars everyday....:) All the country and all the world carry this tragedy with them - but for a New Yorker it hits home just a little differently....thank goodness for people like all of you who bring your love to this board. Thanks Bonnie & thanks Michael! :)
Blue Destiny, Thanks for shareing your firsthand experience of that day so eloquently. It still remains unimagineable to me as I watched some of the more horrifying scenes again on CNN last night. My heart goes out to you and all who were forced to experience the terror first hand in your beloved hometown.
Ironically, we also have Sunflower111 on this board, who lived through the horrors of Katrina.
This board (Bonnie's energy) pulls in so many beautiful souls!
Chaturi - as unimaginable as 9/11 is to you is the same as how I cannot comprehend the devastation of Katrina and those who survived...and lost...in that storm.
We watched it on TV continuously but the small screen just doesn't tell all the story. Same as the Christmas tsunami can't be fully understood by watching video nor any other horrific tragedy. It has to be experienced to be understood fully, I think.
I think the silver lining in all of these types of disasters is that we find a place to go for help and comfort and strength to cope and move forward.
That is what I have found here in the last year. I don't post much but I do read daily and take all your messages of love with me throughout my daily tasks.
I do wish we were joined under different circumstances but since we cannot change the past I think Michael would approve of us taking the opportunity to join together in this way.
You all are the most peaceful and loving souls I have encountered anywhere...
