September 11

I consider myself lucky to have been miles away from the World Trade Center nine years ago today, but I felt and still feel the utter helplessness of having been attacked without warning. We can't let this fear paralyze us. The noblest thing we can do in the face of it is help each other, like the passengers of Flight 93. We all have the ability to look past what divides us, and 9/11, along with so many other experiences, has taught me we never have the time we think we do. Start today.
