This is not a post about what happened 10 years ago today – far safer to lament the past.
It is not a post about remembering friends or where we were and what we were doing – you will have enough of this elsewhere.
It is not a post about what has happened since or the serious problems our country has that are directly or indirectly related to 9/11.
It is not a post about standing on the promenade in Brooklyn Heights and watching the second plane hit the tower or gathering up your things and heading as far into Brooklyn as you can because you are freaking out.
No, this is a post about today and the future.
Its a post about surviving hardship, removed from you or very near and over which you have no control, recovering and growing stronger.
Its a post about thriving despite geopolitical nightmares or your father’s quickly deteriorating health…
Many of us focus so much on every nuance of the world outside of our immediate sphere that we forget where we live – where we relate to those closest to us, find support and provide it to those we love – the soil from which resilience takes root.
