the day after

It's been over 24 hours since I rolled out of bed and, instead of hearing the usual 80's music, heard reports of airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center, forcing me to quickly turn on my computer to find out what was going on.
Just a few minutes ago, a couple of military jets flew overhead. I ran outside because I was surprised to hear the sound of airplanes. I don't know whether I feel comforted to see their presence, or scared when I think of what it means.
I guess now is the time when we start to understand what happened - who did it, why, and how it will change our world.
I have so many things I want to write here, but they all seem trite. I guess I'll wait to see what we find out before I make any decisions.
Until then, make sure you donate blood in the coming weeks. And pray for our country.
