The weather is beautiful today in Philadelphia. The skies are blue and the sun is shining brightly. It looks like any other September day. Only it is not. It is September 11.
Lots will be said about that date today. Politicians will make speeches. Anchors on the nightly news will analyze what happened on that day and what has happened since. Bloggers and writers will remember and react to the events of the day.
And I don’t know that I have anything to add that won’t be said already.
My mom used to tell me that sometimes it’s okay just to be quiet (though she might argue that I never took this advice). And so mostly, I will be.
