And by "What are we doing here" what I really mean- WHY are we doing what we do here?
To learn, to let it out? And then some.
It's been a day - a humbling one in many aspects...almost too many aspects.
So yeah. This evening I turned to some of my favorite music - that which IS the common bond here (if nothing else )
And not just my favorite, but my quilt, so to speak - Sometimes, In Hiding, Present Tense, In My Tree.
Push Me Pull Me (which sorta fits here, now).
Right now is Milan, 2000.
12 years! Time flies, sometimes.

Nicely said, Hedonist. Yes, when all else fails, there is the music. And yes, it has been a day. 9/11 always is a somber, introspective day for me. I just wish we could learn from it. Learn to make peace. Learn to get along. Enjoy together the goodness that is life.
Somehow, some ridiculously amazingly somehow somehow, I had never heard Televisions "Marquee Moon" until today. I guess it was just supposed to be. As I listened to the record I thought about all the lost lives. I thought about how very very lucky I was to be here today to hear this music. In the middle of the title track I broke down in tears.

I think he's busy telling peacefrompaul to go to bed.
But, no, maybe my world play fell flat because the dictionary definition of threadbare is: "Becoming thin and tattered with age."
AMT does seem tattered, but not so thin.
And by "What are we doing here" what I really mean- WHY are we doing what we do here?
But since my post was so fraught with error maybe I don't know what I mean.
So I'm going to tell myself- GO TO BED!
