A decade and a belly.

In 5 days we recognize a 10 year
anniversary
of 9/11
And as I ruminate on this
piece of historical tragedy,
I rub my baby boy belly
just as did...all those years ago.

Life has a way of cycling
and as it rolls through
and things change
we can either get caught up
in our own path
fixating on how to best
control it

or we can look around
as we move and
be grateful
be thoughtful
be kind

we can uncover the
hate in our hearts
and nurture love
so that as new life
arrives,
earthside
he shall be greeted
with all the possibility
in the world
not devastation
rage
despair.

These are the lessons
we share.
