September 12
The train of thought that I will now take that any reader that so chooses to follow me down began yesterday. However, I opted not to put fingers to keyboard until today in order not to diminish the gravity of tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001 by the parallel that I will soon draw.

Upon
leaving mass yesterday, the thought occurred to me of the date. The common
thing you hear on 9/11 is, “I remember where I was on 9/11”. My mind wandered to where I was when I
received a call. “Is your TV on?” I was sitting on the edge of my bed in my apartment
in rural Murfreesboro, TN when I took that call. This image of me on the edge
of my bed sparked the thought of another time I sat in the very spot on the
edge of my bed and had a realization that has carried me over the past 12
years…
No matter what is taken from you; material
possessions, your reputation, relationships, etc. The two things that no one
can take from you are your ability to forgive and your ability to love. They are
wellsprings.
