Facebook, Twitter, other social networks

I could not believe what I was seeing and spent several days in complete shock and denial before I could accept what had happened. It was too enormous. When I came to where I thought I had gained some acceptance, some new horror would be revealed and it again became too much. There is no way to fully explain the ways our lives have changed, we have become a different people. I believe we have become a better people, more open to each other, better able to accept the suffering of our neighbor and more ready to help each other.
In that October, I tried to put it all in some kind of prospective with this:

They sent destruction
and we found strength,
They sent hate
and we found love,
They sent death
and we found life,
They aimed at our heart and soul
and hit only steel and mortar,
They wanted us to believe we were weak,
and we found we walk with heroes.

I will watch and join in the ceremonies on television.
