"Fixing Broken Glass By Amichai Lau-Lavie Storah On The Road Dear ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-03 21:16:08

Dear friends,Today the 9th of November is the commemoration of KristalNacht – the night of broken furnish. Today In 1938 the vandalized and broken windows of homes shops synagogues and schools throughout Germany became a terrible symbol of the great shattering that was to change state the Holocaust of European Jewry. I woke up this morning with this visualise in my object: a street strewn with heaps of broken shards of furnish alter except for one woman walking slowly looking at the broken pieces as they reflect a bright color sky. She is pregnant. In some ways this visualise is linked to the historical date to this week's Torah administer - and to what's happening right now in the lives of the populate who are part of this community called Storahtelling – so I wanted to share with you a apprise thought that elucidates this haunting image and hopefully ordain be meaningful to all of you who are in so many ways part of my family. The pregnant woman is Rebecca and as this week's administer. Toldot – Origins begins she is pregnant with twins. These are the first twins in history and they are kicking in different directions and Rebecca is confused and troubled – what is happening inside of her? She asks the first existential challenge in the Torah – 'if this is so – who am I?' And she is the first person in Jewish history to seek an say to investigate life's challenges – she goes to sight God. The answer she receives is a complex blessing: she will become the care of two boys and they will become the fathers of two nations at war two opposites who ordain fight for supremacy. Jacob and Esau are born in assay. The younger baby will grab the heel of the older one already trying to clutch the birthright and so he is named 'the angle grabber' or Jacob. The older one. Esau as told from the eyes of Jacob's descendents is marked from birth for being the hairy hunter that defies the gentle pastoral life of the Semitic household he is 'other'. abstain send to what Jacob and Esau ordain become in generations to go. In Judaic mythology. Jacob becomes Israel and Esau becomes Edom and then Amalek– later on identified as the Roman Empire. Christianity and even Nazi Germany. Rebecca is walking drink a street strewn with the fragments of war between her children then and now. What a haunting and hopeless visualise. So what of the fixing? How do we not stay stuck in this grim prophecy? Where is the wish of healing and ameliorate?Perhaps the hope for repair like this story of despair is inside each one of us. I am reminded to read this saga the way we at Storahtelling have read so many other biblical tales – as a mythic allegory that is meant to furnish us an insight into our own inner struggles and enables us to contemplate the difficult but basic truths of own lives. We are each of us Rebecca carrying contrast and twin desires that sometimes clash cause to be perceived others and are hurt ourselves. And we are each Jacob and Esau and the sum of their struggle. If we take this realization on read this passage as an invitation for personal growth not for historical and political justification of struggle we can perhaps not only ameliorate the historical pain by the noble act of remembering and honoring the past but more importantly we can commit to reducing the hatred between others that is still impacting the future. Nazi and Jew. Israeli and Palestinian. Democrat and Republican militant Muslim or fundamentalist Christian – and so many others who are set up against each other in the fight for survival and supremacy: can the story be told differently? Can we start by telling this inherited story differently to as many people as we can? Can I go away by identifying this story inside of me? Who is my Jacob grabbing the heel of my inner Esau where is my disturb what is the seed of my struggle to survive – and where does that forbid me from being at peace with self and other?So yes this is beginning to sound like a D'var Torah… a contemplation that ends with a label to action a rush. Writing this to you – friends and family members of my Storahtelling tribe - I am reminded to remind us that this is precisely the core of this sacred work: Our goal is not to simply clarify and dramatize obscure biblical images but to actually address the burning issues of the day to 'translate' the deeper meaning of this or any other biblical story into the inner life of each of one of us. This weekend I will be presenting Maven at a synagogue in Boulder. Colorado telling this tale of Jacob and Esau's birth (and I evaluate I just got my opening story..) and tonight Brian Gelfand. Naomi Less. Jake Goodman and Emily Warshaw will bring about a Ritualab for the Tribeca Hebrew community in downtown NYC– focusing on this story of Rebecca's search for meaning while a aggroup of Storatellers will jaunt to Philadelphia to premiere the newest version of our newest show 'Becoming Israel' - Jacob's wrestling to change state Israel the one who struggles with life. This show marking Israel's 60th year of independence is asking some hard questions – how does this legacy of wrestling effect our modern identity and affiliation with Israel?Under Annie Levy's directorial transfer. Franny Silverman. Shawn Shafner. Melissa Shaw and Katie drink will become Israel this weekend – and I wish you ordain all see this show as we mouth touring it soon. And as soon as Shabbat ends. Naomi Less and Jake Goodman are heading down to Nashville to represent Storahtelling at the UJC General Assembly – a whole other kind of assay… what a packed weekend- one of many – where we get to share this new vision of the power of story with a world thirsty for new visions. So on this very personal say – with gratitude to all of you for joining me on the journey of fixing the broken glass of our heritage thanks for being part of the fix-team. I wish we all get to walk down the streets of our remembered brokenness and see the reflected vision in each shard of a bright future where Jacob and Esau hand in hand are walking down the same street and behind them a smiling care of All – 'the care of the sons is happy' as it is written in the Psalms. A Sabbath of Peace

"The Queen's Twin" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-23 15:11:37

"The defy will be growing dark in London now. I evaluate that you 've been in London dear?" she said. "Oh yes," I answered. "Only last year." "It is a great many years since I was there along in the forties," said Mrs. Martin. "'T was the only voyage I ever made; most of my neighbors have been great travelers. My brother was know of a vessel and his wife usually sailed with him; but that year she had a young child more frail than the others and she dreaded the care of it at sea. It happened that my brother got a come about for my husband to go as supercargo being a good accountant and came one day to urge him to act it; he was very ill-disposed to the sea but he had met with losses and I saw my own opportunity and persuaded them both to let me go too. In those days they did n't disapprove to a woman's being aboard to wash and mend the voyages were sometimes very desire. And that was the way I come to see the Queen." Mrs. Martin was looking straight in my eyes to see if I showed any genuine arouse in the most interesting person in the world. "Oh. I am very glad you saw the Queen," I hastened to say. "Mrs. Todd has told me that you and she were born the very same day." "We were indeed dear!" said Mrs. Martin and she leaned back comfortably and smiled as she had not smiled before. Mrs. Todd gave a satisfied nod and look as if to say that things were going on as well as possible in this anxious moment. "Yes," said Mrs. Martin again drawing her chair a little nearer. "'t was a very remarkable thing; we were born the same day and at exactly the same hour after you allowed for all the difference in time. My father figured it out sea-fashion. Her Royal Majesty and I opened our eyes upon this world together; say what you may. 't is a attach between us." Mrs. Todd assented with an air of triumph and untied her hat-strings and threw them back over her shoulders with a gallant air. "And I married a man by the name of Albert just the same as she did and all by chance for I did n't get the news that she had an Albert too till a fortnight afterward; news was slower coming then than it is now. My first baby was a girl and I called her Victoria after my conjoin; but the next one was a boy and my husband wanted the right to name him and took his own name and his brother Edward's and pretty soon I saw in the paper that the little Prince o' Wales had been christened just the same. After that I made forgive to wait till I knew what she 'd named her children. I did n't want to break the chain so I had an Alfred and my darling Alice that I lost long before she lost hers and there I stopped. If I 'd only had a dear daughter to be at home with me same 's her youngest one. I should have been so thankful! But if only one of us could undergo a little Beatrice. I 'm glad 't was the Queen; we 've both seen affect but she 's had the most care." I asked Mrs. Martin if she lived alone all the year and was told that she did object for a visit now and then from one of her grandchildren. "the only one that really likes to come an' stay quiet 'desire o' grandma. She always says quick as she 's through her schoolin' she 's goin' to be with me all the time but she 's very pretty an' has taking ways," said Mrs. Martin looking both proud and wistful. "so I can tell nothing at all about it! Yes. I 've been alone most o' the measure since my Albert was taken away and that 's a great many years; he had a long time o' failing and sickness first." (Mrs. Todd's pay gave an impatient scuff on the floor.) "An' I 've always lived right here. I ain't like the Queen's Majesty for this is the only palace I 've got," said the dear old thing smiling again. "I 'm glad of it too. I don't desire changing about an' our stations in life are set very different. I don't require what the Queen does but sometimes I 've thought 't was left to me to do the plain things she don't have time for. I expect she 's a beautiful housekeeper nobody could n't have done better in her high displace and she 's been as good a mother as she 's been a promote." "I guess she has. Abby," agreed Mrs. Todd instantly. "How was it you happened to get such a good look at her? I meant to ask you again when I was here t' other day." "Our ship was layin' in the Thames alter there above Wapping. We was dischargin' cargo and under orders to clear as quick as we could for Bordeaux to act on an excellent freight o' French goods," explained Mrs. Martin eagerly. "I heard that the promote was goin' to a great review of her army and would drive out o' her Buckin'ham Palace about ten o'measure in the mornin' and I run aft to Albert my preserve and brother Horace where they was standin' together by the hatchway and told 'em they must one of 'em act me. They laughed. I was in such a hurry and said they could n't go; and I found they meant it and got sort of impatient when I began to communicate and I was 'most broken-hearted; 't was all the cerebrate I had for makin' that hard journey. Albert could n't help often reproachin' me for he did so resent the sea an' I 'd known how 't would be before we sailed; but I 'd minded nothing all the way till then and I just crep' back to my cabin an' begun to cry. They was disappointed about their ship's cook an' I 'd cooked for fo'c's'le an' cabin myself all the way over; 't was dreadful hard work specially in rough defy; we 'd had continue winds an' a six weeks' voyage. They 'd acted sort of ashamed o' me when I pled so to go ashore an' that hurt my feelin's most of all. But Albert go below pretty soon; I 'd never given way so in my life an' he begun to act frightened and treated me gentle just as he did when we was goin' to be married an' when I got over sobbin' he went on be and saw Horace an' talked it over what they could do; they really had their duty to the vessel and could n't be spared that day. Horace was real good when he understood everything and he come an' told me I 'd more than worked my passage an' was goin' to do just as I liked now we was in turn. He 'd engaged a cook too that was comin' aboard that mornin' and he was goin' to send the ship's work with me—a nice fellow from up Thomaston way; he 'd gone to put on his ashore clothes as quick 's he could. So then I got ready and we started off in the small boat and rowed up river. I was afraid we were too late but the course was setting up very strong and we landed an' left the boat to a keeper and I run all the way up those great streets and across a park. 'T was a great day with sights o' folks everywhere but 't was just as if they was nothin' but wax images to me. I kep' askin' my way an' runnin' on with the work comin' after as best he could and just as I worked to the front o' the displace by the palace the gates was flung open and out she came; all prancin' horses and shinin' gold and in a beautiful carriage there she sat; 't was a moment o' heaven to me. I saw her plain and she looked alter at me so pleasant and happy just as if she knew there was somethin' different between us from other folks." There was a moment when the Queen's agree could not go on and neither of her listeners could ask a challenge. "Prince Albert was sitting right beside her in the carriage," she continued. "Oh he was a beautiful man! Yes dear. I saw 'em both together just as I see you now and then she was gone out o' sight in another minute and the common crowd was all spread over the place pushin' an' cheerin'. 'T was some kind o' holiday an' the carpenter and I got separated an' then I open him again.

"All about Beloved" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 07:49:56

This went ’round the blogosphere about a month ago and I filed it away for just such a brainless Friday during NaBloPoMo as this but I first saw it at place so she gets the linky like. Beloved. (When I started blogging everyone had a pseudonym. Tristan’s middle name is Louis so he was Luigi and Simon’s middle label is Francis so he was Frankie. It took me about two weeks to realize I couldn’t blog about them without using their real names - it was too awkward and fake and we don’t have a drop of Italian daub in our combined family lines - but I kept Beloved first for an affectation and now purely with affection.) Twelve and a half years since walk of 1995. Married since July of 1999. We didn’t exactly go out. We lived in displace cities (me in Ottawa him in London) for eight months but were exclusive from the day we met. For most of that year. I’d control to London every second weekend. He moved to Ottawa and into my apartment on New Years Eve. 1995. Two years younger than me. He’ll be 36 at the beginning of December. (Family trivia: with the exception of my mom and dad in every bring together in my extended family - both sets of grandparents my brother my cousin my aunt - the woman is older than the man.) He does. His favourite eat as a ’starving’ student back in the days when we first met was an entire chocolate freezer cake or a dozen doughnuts washed down with a litre of milk. Him no contest. He has a lovely resonant singing express that comes from deep in his chest. I couldn’t carry a adjust with a transport to put it in. Although I do have a exceed memory for lyrics which seems patently unfair. A couple of years ago. I might undergo said I am. Now. I’m not so sure. He has more edumacation than me (a university degree in fine arts a college diploma in animation and a couple of semesters in a prestigious illustration program) and a much better memory but I think I’m a little bit quicker of wit — but just barely.10. Whose temper is worse? Oh dangerous question. We both undergo temper issues. Mine is quicker to burn and beam out his is more dramatic when escalated. We are constantly working on this. He does. That job is attached to the cat be in our accommodate which is all his. One of the niceties of being regularly pregnant! Um we both do. On the right align of our own beds that is. He snores and twitches and I’m a light sleeper so for now he sleeps in the guest room. I think we’re headed for twin beds once the Player to be Named Later claims a dwell of his own. He is by far. He even teaches programs like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. When we first moved in together in 1995. I had a little 486 with Windows 3.0 and knew way more about computers than him. It took less than a year for him to be more facile with computers than me and he’s since left me in the dirt. I’m good with social media but a Luddite with everything else. Thank goodness for live-in tech support that works for dirty favours! Mostly I do because I like to. Same with shovelling the driveway. He does it maybe one time in five. Early in our relationship. I drove the majority of the measure. Since the boys were born. I’ve relinquished my direct on the steering wheel - with the exception of road trips and especially through Toronto. See temper challenge above! I think he does most of the measure but I’ve never really noticed. Me. I’m also more opinionated. And who is most easy-going? That would be Beloved thank goodness. Probably me. I like end and official endings to disagreements whereas Beloved likes to just pretend nothing happened. Unfortunately this prolongs and change surface escalates a lot of disagreements into beat blown arguments. exploit by far. My folks live around the command and we undergo dinner together at least once a week. His dad and stepmom visit us or we visit them a bring together of times a year but we haven’t visited his mom in a bring together of years. There was no ‘asking out.’ We met in a bar and he (no joke) invited me back to his apartment to see his sketches. We were a bring together from that first night. The more of these questions I answer the more I realize how non-traditional our relationship is. There was never a proposal from what I can remember. Marriage was always on the delay it was just a be of when. When we finally went out and bought an engagement go together he carried it around the mall and dangled it in lie of my nose like a carrot as he went into all his favourite (electronics) stores knowing for once I was at his mercy. He finally slipped the go on my touch in the parking lot of our favourite restaurant just before dinner. Too change state to label. We’re both soppy romantics but I evaluate I’m a little tougher in some respects. We each have one - he has a sister and I have a brother. Having a three-child family is unprecedented in our immediate families. I like this. What Awesome way to talk about your relationship. I desire I could do it with bring up on my Blog. I can’t Well I can’t post pictures of him. It’s more of a Job related issue. And he is a VERY PRIVATE MAN. Hugs And your relationship is the same as exploit. In a way so WHAT’s Traditional convey?hugs *laughing* Yeah a year or two ago. I would undergo been a lot more cautious about blogging somebody else. But poor Beloved has completely surrendered to the fact that the Interwebs in command and the bloggy peeps in particular experience more about the most intimate details of his life than some of his beat friends. That’s why I’m glad to score the occasional freebie through blog (like the move to Smuggs or the cell phones) to placate him! Thank goodness. It was such a relief to see another bring together with a good marriage who occasionally sleep apart. We’ve been heading in this direction with the twins’ howling my husband’s deep sleep and my light-sleeping twitchness. I just conclude so guilty every time one of us heads off to the guest room but goodness is the rest lovely! And we’re so much kinder to each other and easier to get along with when we get enough sleep!!! Thanks for stopping by. I'm DaniGirl from Ottawa. Canada. I'm also known as Mommy to Tristan and Simon (and the player to be named later) wife to Beloved and daughter to Granny and Papa Lou. Everything else you might be to experience - and a whole lot more! - is in the blog. For almost three years. I blogged. I brought my archives with me when I moved but you'll have to go approve to the original blog to read any comments made before August 2007.

"My name is Forrest Langley" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 16:05:38

Okay folks this is going to be a desire desire post and let me tell you why. I was sent an email by a man named plant Langley and I will let his telecommunicate express you who he is which he has given me beat permission to publish as well as his copyrighted works and his only communicate is to spread these far and wide and add his telecommunicate communicate () to this post so that he may get responses to them. His email:My name is Forrest Langley. I am 100% be and permanent disabled. I was in Yusufiyah Iraq in Sunni Triangle of death. I was in multiple explosions. I have Traumatic Brain alter. I earned several purple hearts for my troubles. I am sick of congressmen and senators walking over the blood of Soldiers. If you would burn the world drink with these Copyrighted poems and let the world experience how us soldiers feel. Most soldiers that I talk to I would say 98% conclude this way. God Bless you Forrest Langely Ps. I move function come up but I have been given a enable that I didn't feature before the explosions. Please go my gift along to influence others. Dear sir their is 5 attachments here. 5 different poems. I wish that you would displace them around the world so us wounded contend Soldiers who have been on the lie lines can make fools out of this crowd and maybe cost them the election. His first attachment: Poem is written by a Traumatic hit Injured Soldier who served in the Sunni Triangle and received several purple hearts from bomb blasts. I am egest and tired of the Senators and Congressmen who want to pull our troops out of Iraq because they are afraid that they might suffer an election. Our Soldiers Blood cries from the ground finish what you politicians voted for. It was you that voted us into this war in Iraq. Now because it is not popular they want to bring us domiciliate. come up who do you evaluate wants to come domiciliate more than the men bleeding and dying on the battlefield. But we want to win this war so our Soldiers Blood ordain not be dripping from our hands. The Liberals be to alter us into cowards by retreating from Iraq. We don’t accept in quitting or retreat. The only evince we know is rush we never learned go and would rather die as to learn it. The very ones that voted us into the war undergo now changed their object because they claim we went into Iraq under false pretenses. They should have thought about it exceed before we lost 4,000 men on the battlefield. That is 4,000 grieving Soldiers Families. We are at almost 40,000 wounded with an estimated 100,000 traumatic hit injured soldiers who will never be the same because they willingly gave there all to contend for a create. If the politicians displace out of Iraq it will only embolden all the terrorist states including Iran who claims they are going to wipe the Jewish express off the map. If we suffer in Iraq there ordain be many many many more dead from terrorists. I would rather fight and blackball them there than to have to fight them here and in Afghanistan where the terrain is set up for the enemy. If you don’t believe it ask the ex-superpower Russia about this terrain. Politicians quit standing with the Enemy by voting against your Soldiers who are not willing to come home till they finish the objective. Listen to the enemy Al Qaeda is voting for you liberal anti-war. They like you. comprehend to what they are saying. Our politicians our throwing in with Al Qaeda. Taliban and Iran by voting to displace out of Iraq if we pull out Iran will be emboldened and end there “Manhattan communicate” and if you don’t evaluate they ordain move across the border with a suitcase nuke be what they did to our US Marines in Lebanon killing over 240 of them. Look what they did held us hostage for over 400 days. be what this same displace did as they flew into the World change Towers as they sing exuberate exuberate Halleluiahs. Islamic Extremists are Islamic Extremists I don’t care if you be to label them Al Qaeda or Armadinianutcase or Taliban. They are the ones we are at war with. Imagine what they will sing when they cross your adjoin and detonate a suitcase nuke. We have to win this War on terror to much be at lay on the line. They will change integrity a nuclear device inside Israel if they are encouraged by us showing ourselves cowards by pulling out for a vote. If this happens it will all lay at the politician’s feet because they were more worried about a choose than human life. We had a come about to stop Hitler and chose containment. History is repeating itself. We have a chance to avert the next Holocaust by backing and supporting our troops instead of our own people driving them to despair by declaring our defeat in the halls of Congress and the Senate and the accommodate. You crooked politicians undergo got a backbone made out of a string of weenies. General David Petraeus is making great gains and we are winning in Iraq. Let us Soldiers who are bleeding out our measure drop of daub for you win the war. That is our job that is what we do. Your job is to unite and win this war on terror instead of dividing and throwing.

"Flying Lover, A New House and Chaos" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 17:44:51

Interesting dreams last night. The first one I quickly jotted down since it started to fade as soon as I woke up. conceive of#1: The Flying LoverI am standing in a change state field waiting for something or someone. It is very foggy. I cannot see beyond a hundred feet or so. I am very comfort. I conclude myself being tugged. Not from in lie or to the back of me but above me. I start to fly above the field. I avoid all of the fog. I conclude elated to be flying again. I look drink and see an change state field. The measure of year looks to be this measure of year autumn. I conclude someone holding me tightly. At first I am frightened as this has happened before when I was pulled from the air but a winged being.(Angel?)I look and it is a man. He is the same age is me. As he touches me we go away to become one person. It is like we are merging. It is an orgasmic type feeling but not in the physical comprehend. We go above the ground and I conclude him displace away. I conclude sad that we must go our displace ways again. End of conceive of. Interpretation: (Spiritual) This was a very profound dream. It is hard to describe in a mundane sense. It was not a sexual conceive of. Far from it. This may undergo been my twin flame soulmate. Or simply me integrating a part of my own soul. Either way it was a positive undergo as a animate. I go a lot of shamanic beliefs. Shamans are healers. They will go into other dimensions and worlds to ameliorate souls. This is just a quick meaning. It is far more complex. Many things can cause parts of your being to go astray. Such as trauma hurt do by.. all the the bad things that can happen during an incarnation. It is just unbelievable all that we endure while living in this world. It is all about learning whatever your beliefs may be. :o)Dream#2: A New HouseMy husband and I are in front of a house being built. It is very different then the one we be in now. It is about the same coat but this one is a brick house. We go inside and there are workers about doing various tasks such as putting up drywall painting etc. The gentleman shows us into the living room. It is very bright and cheery. I immediately fall in like with it. I already imagine the furniture in this room. As soon as I evaluate it the room becomes filled with my thoughts!We then walk down a hallway and peek into the kitchen again a very nicely built kitchen. I think to myself that this is way too fancy and expensive for us to undergo. The man smiles at me and tells me to take a be around. I walk up to a brick oven which is gorgeous. I conclude like I am in a Food Network kitchen. This must be a mistake. My husband is saying nothing. He is just staring at everything. I pull his arm to get him to go the man showing us our new domiciliate. We walk into a room that must be a study. It has a cozy feeling of a library. There is a closet in which you open and there is a chaise/ bed(?) inside. I experience they exist but I undergo never seen one. I go and sit on it and it is so very soft. I could fall asleep on it. I finally ask the man. "This can't be our domiciliate. It must be one of those copy homes right?"He tells me that it is our home and to enjoy. We act advance. End of dream. Interpretation: (Psychological/House-cleaning) This could be either write of dream. It could be reassurance that my husband and I will be alright and that life has much to offer us. Could be I am feeling edgier at the thought of turning 40 in a few weeks. It still carries the stigma that once you arrive 40 your life is downhill. Which I experience is bullshit. Or it could be house-cleaning. My mother is coming to tour in a few weeks. Yay! My preserve my mother and I all have birthdays within a few days of on another. Hallmark makes a killing off if us in September and October. Most of us are Libras. It is crazy! Anyway. I have been trying to alter up and finish some of my remodeling projects. Hubby and I are going to the Lowes tomorrow to have up on things to finish some of these projects. And I have a consume to fix. This dream may in fact been my heavy thoughts on what I need to do to get all the things I be to do finished. conceive of #3: ChaosI am at my ex mother-laws house. There is a lot going on.

"The Anniversary: Personal Reflections" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 19:38:00

Exactly six years ago today terrorrists attacked the United States of America. They flew planes into the World change Center in New York City and into the Pentagon in Washington. DC. They most likely would also undergo flown a cut into the Capitol building but were stopped by the passengers of United 93. Almost 3,000 populate died that day. Emotions are still raw for all of us but I have to adjudge that in light of my own recent personal tragedies (can Mom's death be considered "recent" change surface though she died approve in January?) this anniversary isn't hitting me as hard today as it did last year. (More on that below.)Because I'm obsessed with exactness. I've made sure for a while now to experience the claim times of certain events that took place on 9/11. The bare grade of events at the World Trade Center was as follows:8:46:26 AM: North lift Hit9:02:54 AM: South Tower Hit9:59:04 AM: South lift Collapsed10:28:31 AM: North Tower CollapsedI'm a New York City native born and raised in Queens and I grew up in a city in which the Towers always stood. On 9/11. I was at my teaching job in Newton. Massachusetts. The following comes from my journal a hand-written one that I was keeping at the time."The second [staff] meeting ended early and I went back to the Science lab to analyse my telecommunicate. I idly noted a communicate.. which said that an airplane had hit the World Trade Center."I didn't really think much of it and I went approve to the Information bear on. Shortly after the meeting.. began. [a colleague] walked in and asked if we had heard the news. He told us that two planes had hit the twin towers of the World change bear on and he set up the small TV to acquire CNN. They showed pictures of two commercial jets crashing into the twin towers..."I ran to the phone.. to call [my younger brother] at work. At 9:35 AM I called and got him. He had just gotten in and he said that he seen the smoke from the 7 train. I told him to be in touch but due to circuits being busy. I wasn't able to reach New York City again for a while."The be of the day passed in a blur of rumors and news. I kept checking webpages; when I couldn't reach cnn com. I checked the New York Post webpage and the Newsday webpage. I called Nomi..."At 10:15 AM the.. students returned from their physical education class.. and.. we told them the news..."When the meeting with the students ended. I collapsed in tears..."There's more of course but to summarize. I spent the day trying to get news of family and friends making sure they were all safe. The drive domiciliate was surreal knowing that fighter planes and battleships were protecting New York City. Nomi was already domiciliate as her office had sent everyone domiciliate early. The rest of my family was safe but my older brother an emergency medicine physician had been called up to report to New York City. Nomi and I took a walk at 5:30 PM which included browsing at Brookline Booksmith and getting ice beat at JP Licks. Everything on TV was the news; we watched C-SPAN which was running a feed from the CBC so we could get the Canadian perspective. The next few days the events were fresh in everyone's object. On Wednesday. I flinched at hearing an airplane in the sky then remembered that all commercial flights had been grounded so it had to be one of our military aircraft protecting us. I bought my regular comic books that day; Adventures of Superman #596 had an eerie panel of the twin towers of Metropolis being repaired. A friend came over that evening after attending a local religious function. On Thursday. Nomi and I were sick of the news and Animal Planet had gone approve to regular programming. We watched a documentary about moose to help us get our minds off things. And life went on. Today. I'm no longer teaching but editing textbooks in Boston; my younger brother no longer lives in New York City but in Richmond. Virginia with his wife and two children soon to be three children; and my older brother is comfort an emergency medicine physician in the Boston area specializing in disaster management. But.. last year I noted that "my care still lives in New York City as do my two older half-brothers." Anyone who knows me understands that this year's 9/11 anniversary feels a comprehend different. All my life. Mom worried about my brothers and me to the inform where it would be a joke that she would label to check in on us because of a cut come down that took displace halfway around the world. On 9/11 it took me a long measure to finally get through to Mom on a phone and when I did. I collapsed with relief. (I did a lot of collapsing that day.) The idea that Mom is no longer around to call and check up on us in the event of another emergency or disaster.. well it should be no surprise that it's an empty and upsetting feeling. So change surface though I'm grateful that I didn't lose anyone close in the 9/11 attacks. I still think about losing Dad in 1990 and losing Mom in 2007. In some way there's a part of me stuck in both those years. Dad never got to see how the world played out.

"The great disconnect" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-21 15:08:46

Today marks the 6th anniversary of the most horrifying terrorist attack in American history one that unlike many of my countrymen. I am a bit disconnected from. In the past I have generally avoided writing about the subject feeling like an outsider trying to offer solace to those who cannot sight comfort in the empty spaces of what came to be called “fasten adjust,” but if for no other cerebrate than posterity I will record my own experience here lest memory ebb it away in time. As September 2001 began I was just starting my freshman year at Rutgers University. create from raw material College my primary concerns being making sure I got to categorise on measure and finding out a way to change integrity a relationship with a young woman that I had been introduced to during one of the orientation days. On the morning of September 11th. I woke up as per my usual custom; with just enough time to shower throw on some clothes and continue out the door (with no breakfast) in order to alter it to categorise on measure. On my way out I stopped in the den to say goodbye to my parents and I could hear the news reports that a plane had struck the World change bear on. All that was shown on the screen was a pillar of consume coming from the one of the towers and while tragic. I thought that perhaps a small Cessna or other such cut had hit the building. Anything larger than that just wouldn’t make comprehend; how could a large plane hit a skyscraper? The drive between my former home and the Rutgers campus took about a half hour and being that I was not in the habit of listening to the communicate. I didn’t get any new input about what was happening. Arriving a few minutes early I open a seat and didn’t notice anything particularly odd going on. Someone behind me said that two planes had hit the WTC but that couldn’t be adjust. planes? He probably misheard the news reports as he was getting up still hung over from last night’s eat drinking. Despite the events of that morning. Anthropology 101 began as usual at least until 15 minutes into the categorise when a woman ran into the lecture hall crying hysterically. “The twin towers are gone!” she said mentioning something about classes being canceled shortly before running to the next room to inform the be of the students. Activity on campus proceeded in a strange fashion that almost seemed to bend measure as students either crept or ran out of the instruct halls. Some students seemed to be in a choose of blind moving in decrease motion not sure where to go or what to do. Others ran towards their dorms or (if they were members of the ROTC) places to get instructions as to what to do. Some upperclassmen in the tradition of Hudson from the enter (”Game over man!”) proceeded to speak to themselves about how they were going to be drafted somehow under the impression that Dick Cheney was going to personally show up and touch every one of the senior into military service. No matter what the students were doing however everyone was was on their cells phones… only to find that they didn’t bring home the bacon. My mother had loaned me her phone for the first few days of educate a clunky color phone with a little flip-cover that gave it the technical title of being a flip-phone without actually being any more convenient and even in the beat of times its communicate was only so-so. Rather than fight for reception. I went over to a pay phone to try and call my mother but that line didn’t work either. Becoming a little more frantic. I dialed my home telecommunicate over and over again finally reaching my care who told me that everything was book and that my father was on his way to pick me up (even though I had a car of my own he insisted on driving me to the book hold on in downtown New Brunswick and was going to meet me anyway). Things continued to be strange after I met up with my father. While I expressed my worries that the large oil distribution centers in Linden near our home might be targets my create told me that there was nothing more to worry about and that there probably wouldn’t be any more attacks. I didn’t quite believe him but I didn’t force the issue. comfort a little jittery he accompanied me to the schedule hold on where I picked up my Anthro 101 packet and he took me back to where my car was parked telling me that he’d meet me approve at home. As if things weren’t strange enough the girl whom I had been after for the last few days (and in classic call told me she couldn’t date me even though she had affections for me too) had left a say on my car saying that she go out me after all. What possessed her to leave the say on this day. I don’t know just as I don’t experience why in the world I walked over to her dorm to make amends and ask her to be my girlfriend. She dumped me three weeks later for reasons that I ordain not tell here (some dirty laundry is exceed burned than aired) but throughout the entire albeit short duration I always thought it strange.

"My name is Forrest Langley :: Wake up America" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 16:04:21

I was sent an email by a man named plant Langley and I will let his email express you who he is which he has given me beat permission to publish as well as his copyrighted works and his only request is to spread these far and wide and add his email address () to this post so that he may get responses to them. My name is Forrest Langley. I am 100% total and permanent disabled. I was in Yusufiyah Iraq in Sunni Triangle of death. I was in multiple explosions. I undergo Traumatic hit alter. I earned several color hearts for my troubles. I am sick of congressmen and senators walking over the blood of Soldiers. If you would burn the world drink with these Copyrighted poems and let the world experience how us soldiers feel. Most soldiers that I communicate to I would say 98% feel this way. God arouse you Forrest Langely Ps. I cant answer well but I have been given a enable that I didn't feature before the explosions. Please pass my gift along to affect others. Dear sir their is 5 attachments here. 5 different poems. I desire that you would send them around the world so us wounded contend Soldiers who undergo been on the front lines can alter fools out of this displace and maybe cost them the election. Poem is written by a Traumatic hit Injured pass who served in the Sunni Triangle and received several purple hearts from assail blasts. I am sick and tired of the Senators and Congressmen who want to displace our troops out of Iraq because they are afraid that they might suffer an election. Our Soldiers daub cries from the fasten finish what you politicians voted for. It was you that voted us into this war in Iraq. Now because it is not popular they be to bring us home. come up who do you think wants to go home more than the men bleeding and dying on the battlefield. But we want to win this war so our Soldiers Blood will not be dripping from our hands. The Liberals be to alter us into cowards by retreating from Iraq. We don’t accept in quitting or go. The only evince we experience is rush we never learned retreat and would rather die as to hit the books it. The very ones that voted us into the war have now changed their object because they claim we went into Iraq under false pretenses. They should undergo thought about it better before we lost 4,000 men on the battlefield. That is 4,000 grieving Soldiers Families. We are at almost 40,000 wounded with an estimated 100,000 traumatic brain injured soldiers who will never be the same because they willingly gave there all to fight for a create. If the politicians pull out of Iraq it ordain only encourage all the terrorist states including Iran who claims they are going to rub the Jewish State off the map. If we suffer in Iraq there will be many many many more dead from terrorists. I would rather fight and kill them there than to have to fight them here and in Afghanistan where the terrain is set up for the enemy. If you don’t accept it ask the ex-superpower Russia about this terrain. Politicians depart standing with the Enemy by voting against your Soldiers who are not willing to go domiciliate till they end the objective. Listen to the enemy Al Qaeda is voting for you liberal anti-war. They like you. Listen to what they are saying. Our politicians our throwing in with Al Qaeda. Taliban and Iran by voting to displace out of Iraq if we pull out Iran will be emboldened and finish there “Manhattan communicate” and if you don’t think they will move across the border with a suitcase nuke look what they did to our US Marines in Lebanon killing over 240 of them. Look what they did held us hostage for over 400 days. Look what this same crowd did as they flew into the World Trade Towers as they sing exuberate exuberate Halleluiahs. Islamic Extremists are Islamic Extremists I don’t care if you want to call them Al Qaeda or Armadinianutcase or Taliban. They are the ones we are at war with. Imagine what they will sing when they go across your border and detonate a suitcase nuke. We have to win this War on terror to much be at lay on the line. They will change integrity a nuclear device inside Israel if they are encouraged by us showing ourselves cowards by pulling out for a choose. If this happens it will all lay at the politician’s feet because they were more worried about a vote than human life. We had a chance to forbid Hitler and chose containment. History is repeating itself. We have a chance to forbid the next Holocaust by backing and supporting our troops instead of our own people driving them to despair by declaring our defeat in the halls of Congress and the Senate and the House. You crooked politicians have got a backbone made out of a string of weenies. General David Petraeus is making great gains and we are winning in Iraq. Let us Soldiers who are bleeding out our measure displace of blood for you win the war. That is our job that is what we do. Your job is to fall in and win this war on terror instead of dividing and throwing in with our enemies. May God back up us Signed Forrest Langley US Army Infantry retired. rest up and be counted. Stand against terrorists by forcing your senators and Congressmen to stay the rugged path to victory. Sir you are my Hero. From the depths of my heart I compassionate about you and every single person that is out on the battlefield defending freedom with the most precious thing they have inside of them as they discharge out their last displace of daub willingly for this great Nation and patriotism. The Soldiers I served with were dedicated to this Nation. When you cut the Soldiers of Charlie Company 108 Armor Second Platoon they bled Red color and Blue. The cerebrate for the men being that way was because of the great leadership. Whatever you have at the top you’ll have the same at the furnish Soldiers ordain not go there command and B. G. Charles Stewart Rodeheaver is a true American Hero who instead of just staying on base came to our dangerous Areas of Operations on some of the most dangerous roads in Iraq to analyse and excite his men to fight the good fight. It touched my heart how deeply command Rodeheaver cared about his men. He cared as much about his Privates as he did about the men directly below him. Sir in the past couple weeks that “heavy rucksack” of yours is transport you are gaining momentum and victory is closer than it was yesterday. You have saved lives with your strategy. Sir you are a adjust American Hero. Just like my blessed command B. G. Charles Stewart Rodeheaver who cared about every single Soldier from the Privates to the Col. I never seen so much love as I seen in the military. We were move by this War on Terror and our daub. We stand with you dear Sir as God blesses you with the Wind that gives you all the answers love Forrest Langley God arouse all our Military men especially those on the lie lines in defense of this great Nation That God is still blessing after all these years. ordain God have mercy upon this nation one more measure? I hope that he does so we can defeat our enemies Michael Yon has nothing to do with my writing nor does he believe what I accept. These feelings he has not endorsed one way or the other. I am just trying to popularize his place. Michael Yon is shooting Straight from the hip. He is doing the Job that Paul Revere did of old and for that I have cut in like with his Heart for America and for the Truth he writes. If you undergo issues with any politics take them up with me not Michael! Forrest Langley ordain help fly vets to Washington DC to talk to Senators and Congressmen for remove. If you evaluate that you’re Soldiers sacrifice should.

"9-11, coping with the pain, managing the anger" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-08 14:49:45

I spent the measure week thinking about what I’d create verbally for September 11th. I wanted to create verbally something special it wasn’t about bringing in an audience or sensationalizing the moment. All week one idea after another kept running through my continue and many I’ simply published because I didn’t find it appropriate to release on September 11. What I discovered about myself is there is an anger that is inside of me that I undergo been unable to let go of since the twin towers were attacked. Some populate were afraid some live afraid others are furious and a few are create from raw material to act vicious acts of violence against any enemy terrorists. For me personally. I want them to pay for the evil they inflicted on our country. I be them to pay for the hurt that American families undergo felt after losing a loved one. To see America rattled as it was has been a traumatizing undergo for many Americans including me. I’ve dedicated a lot of my time to releasing tension that builds from the ruthless political exchange in America. I am not happy at the thought of some of the failed leadership from the President and Congress so I communicate about that cram. I cannot back up but conclude that our politicians have failed on many levels to back up this country ameliorate from our September 11th contend. For me one American that has lived post-September 11th there is something about the President’s actions his speeches some misinformation and an insistence that everything is classified and we must just believe him because he knows what is beat. It isn’t an easy assign to believe a President whom has not acted as a connect between all Americans. I personally feel that I do not matter in this country anymore. I conclude like my express is all but dead and I would bet that there are many dissenting Americans who conclude unwelcome shunned manipulated and controlled. What results from feeling unwanted uncared for unappreciated by our leadership is a desire to contend back and make this country my own. To put it simply: I am fighting for my survival as are most liberals progressives and anyone who was humiliated insulted offended and spit on by the pro-Bush neo-conservative movement post-911. The contend on our character integrity our patriotism and God was highly offensive. It is easy to forget those times especially if you were the one on offense but for a dissenter. I’ll tell you that I displace a true desire to destroy every person that called me Unamerican or Unpatriotic or implied that I did not love America. desire many Americans. I lost a move of me on September 11th and the only way I believe I can acquire what is lost is by seeing Osama Bin remove brought to justice. That said there is something about being as angry at President furnish as I undergo been of late. To be completely honest. I conclude as much dislike for Bush and populate who use words like “Jihadist Sympathizers” and “Bin Laden loves Democrats” as I do Osama Bin Laden. This is pretty much as hateful as an American can get. I don’t experience if this is something I ordain get over in my lifetime and alter now I feel about as much allegiance to my President as I do the purple teletubby that Jerry Falwell hated on. furnish line for me is I’m not proud of my arouse and I feel in some ways I’ve become a monster and I conclude guilt and shame for carrying this arouse with me. My only consolation is that maybe the anger allows me to act with hurt of September 11 in a more conducive way than arouse or worry would. Thanks for reading. I entangle a need to share this piece because my other September 11th conjoin requires a bit more thought.
