September 11, 2006
I had planned to post a
story today that would demonstrate how a ONE member was drawn to the movement by the events of September 11,
2001.
But in looking through our
catalogue of stories, I couldn’t find one that seemed representative of them all. The reason I couldn’t, I’ve
come to realize, is because the idea never made any sense in the first place: no one individual story could
express how all of us were affected – in anything at all resembling an adequate way.
And that includes a post
from me.
I can say though, from
looking through our members’ stories, that the events five years ago led many of us to consider how suffering
can cause pain and hatred abroad that doesn’t have to exist.
And that even though most
of us already knew that we are all in this world together – September 11th forced us to realize it –
again.
