stop

in this very building, this house, this office, on this day in 2001.

at work. when work, when the world, felt a very very different place.
when we tried to comfort students, when we tried to imagine a "post tuesday" world.

same same sky.

pausing.
and working

and meeting other students shortly.
their all day first new semester training.
working. learning, god, i hope, learning.

  1. This is beautifully and fearfully moving.

    I can't imagine. And I can.

    Love.

  2. I remember that day and being with you and being really sick to my stomach that a lot of things might be changing. I remember having to leave the office and actually go home to be physically ill for most of the day. Things have changed, but not you, thank goodness.
