Time Standing Still..... 09/11/07

As I drove home today listening to Trent Reznor do an acoustic version of Hurt on the radio I came to a stop at a light and happened to glance over at something that probably caught everyones attention today. A flag in one of the shopping centers I usually pass by was as it should be, at half staff. What did surprise me though was at that moment in time all the feelings that I felt on 9-11-2001 came rushing back just for a moment. The feeling of total helplessness, the sadness at the needless waste of lives. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes, I wiped my face trying to push the thoughts aside although at the same time knowing they were feelings I should just sit with. As I looked out my driver side window taking everything in, I caught the driver next to me looking over, she nodded as if to say she understood.
