We Remember

We Remember. September 11, 2001. We pulled each other closer in the turn around a center that we could not see— This holding on was what I had to learn. The sun can hold the planets, earth the moon, but we had to create our gravity by always pulling closer in the turn.

  1. We Remember September 11, 2001

  2. We pulled each other closer in the turn around a center that we could not see— This holding on was what I had to learn.

  3. The sun can hold the planets, earth the moon, but we had to create our gravity by always pulling closer in the turn.

  4. Each revolution caused my head to whirl so dizzily I wanted to break free, but holding on was what I had to learn.

  5. I fixed my eyes on something out there firm, and then our orbit steadied so that we could pull each other closer in the turn.

  6. The joy that circles with us round the curve is joy that passes surely as a peace, and holding on is what we have to learn.

  7. And if our feet should briefly leave the earth, no matter, earth was made for us to leave, and arms for pulling closer in the turn —

  8. This holding on is what we have to learn. Waltzing the Spheres by Susan Scott Thompson

  9. In the beginning was a dreamer... Jesus of Nazareth who enflamed voices that continue to challenge….

  10. The voice of St. Lorenzo Ruiz "I am a Christian, and this I profess until the hour of my death and for God I shall give my life. Although I did not come…to be a martyr, nevertheless as a Christian and for God I shall give my life. A true friend has no greater love." - St. Lorenzo Ruiz

  11. The voice of Archbishop Oscar Romero “I must tell you, as a Christian, I do not believe in death without resurrection. If I am killed, I shall arise in the Salvadoran people…in an age where the poor face intimidation and murder.” - Oscar Romero

  12. “Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of the all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty.” - Oscar Romero

  13. The voice of Sister Thea Bowman “Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change, but if each one of us would light a candle, we'd have a tremendous light.”Sister Thea Bowman, FSPA

  14. The voice of St. Andrew Kim Taegon “We are here to bond… …not to break.” - St. Andrew Kim Taegon

  15. The voice of Mother Teresa of Calcutta “The fruit of Silence is Prayer. The fruit of Prayer is Faith. The fruit of Love is Service. The fruit of Service is Peace.” - Mother Teresa

  16. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” - Mother Teresa

  17. The voice of Dorothy Day “No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless… There is too much work to do.” - Dorothy Day

  18. The voice of Cesar Chavez “It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.”- Cesar Chavez
