SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

 

 

I hold my face in my two hands.

No, I am not crying.

I hold my face in my two hands

to keep the loneliness warm --

 

After the collapse

Fallen Tower, World Trade Center

two hands protecting,

two hands nourishing,

two hands preventing

my soul from leaving me

in anger.

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh ~

 

Dear God,

Please bring your Light

Into the darkened corners

Of our world today.

 

dust and ashes

May Divine Love

Cast out all fear,

And peace prevail on earth.

 

Praying

Forgive us,

Oh God,

For our errors.

Forgive others for theirs,

As well.

Please help us, God.

 

~ Marianne Williamson ~

 

 

Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream

of a miracle by which what is broken

is made whole again,

what is soiled is made clean again.

-Dag Hammarskjöld
