Remember 9/11

I was instant messaging with some online friends, when one of them started telling me what was happening on the news he was watching. I didn't get the scale of it at first. He was a New Yorker, living a long way from NY. I watched his heart break in 3 text messages.

Juniper, a similar thing occurred to me today. For us this was an event, with smaller or greater repercussions depending on how personally affected we were. For the youngsters approaching young adulthood it is one of the foundations upon which their modern world is built. It is part of the ground on which they tread.
