I watched once more this day unraveled from shore to shore as hearts traveled to zero ground where lost in holes an old wind found a stir of souls Dust in the wind ... ... their clothes, face, and hair as the swirls mend the last past year's air drying their tears for those heros as a world nears, a stir of souls Life taken by and yet so giving never to die hear, ... souls are living. As I watched and listened to the memorial service for those who died at the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 there was one constant element those present could not avoid ... the wind. It lifted dust from everywhere, getting into peoples eyes, their clothes and their hair. No one tried to hide from it ... it was acceptable, almost as if it was meant to be. A stirring remark was made by one of the announcers that the wind started at the time the first plane had crashed into the tower ... perhaps a coincidence, perhaps heartfelt faith. Either way a message sent ... "hear what we have to say". create an addiction .... share a smile!! |

Darn Craig, you gave me a chill with this. This is rather exceptional writing! It captures so very much. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (09-16-2002 04:08 PM).] |

Remember the song lyrics? "All we are is dust in the wind" Wonderful, sensitive post, Craig. |

![]() (tears fall down my cheeks) And I still feel the wind continues to blow the dust around as God wishes to remind us of the tears and encouraging us to rise and remember our heroes and again stand head over heels for faith and hope! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is beautifully heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
