            <text>LOVE ONE ANOTHER

On this day I was not even aware of what was going on until I just happend to call a girlfriend and was alerted to the happenings. I can say I saw people jumping from windows from the Twin Towers and I felt so much pain and dispare.  An overwelhming fear and utter loss overcame me. The tradgey of this event is appauling.  It scares me to think that one person could have a vision of the magintude and go so far to actually carry it out with out even thinking of the harm and devistation to other human beings. I have experienced tradgey once in my life and I all most did not make it back mentally. I can only imagine what the mass of people are feeling. Truly, I say to you my heart goes out to you. I wish that I knew every single one of you so that I could hold and caress you as a mother does her children.  My heart breaks for you all in so many different ways.  Folks we must remember that just because of one man's anger toward whomever we MUST not let it over take us. Do not stup to this level for we as a people are much better than that.
I know that this is about America and all the politics, but I ask you all to over look all of that and just look at us as a nation in mourning.  We are all god's children no matter what our nationality, creed, color, religion and so forth.  We all hurt as one and can heal as one.  It simply doesn't matter what your status in life is rich, poor, middle-class or even homeless because if you stop and think about it at one point and time in everyone's life we were all at each of these stations.  To be rich you had to have been poor once or twice or maybe more.  To be middle-class you had to be poor once or twice or more.  To be poor you must have been born in to poverty.  Again, no matter what your status we are all the same inside.  We all bleed red blood. We all have emotions.  We all do alot of things just the same as any one else.  Be more aware of who you are and the people around you.  Experience other culturls for doing this will help you to understand that person, how they think, their customs, their thought process and them as a fellow human being.  I love all people no matter who you are.  The folks of 9/11/01 have truly been done an unjust tradgey and it will take a monumental amout of time for healing to take place, but folks please remember that god is not the one who brought this tradgey upon us.  It was man, a man, who had the vision and wanted to create such mass kaos &amp; dispare.  I personally would like to know how in the hell does some one so out of tune with the world and reality get so many people to follow such crazly planed thoughts.  Everyone train your consinsunce as you would train a child to do the right thing.  Be strong, be strong.
keep your head up and keep smiling.
