Body In Balance

..Into The Wind

Nine years ago I remember sitting and watching as the world, without warning, seemed to have stopped in its tracks.  Everyone was trying to make sense of the tragedy which has come to be known as 9-11.  In a split second the world did not seem as safe.  Everywhere you looked there seemed to be police - soldiers standing guard, especially from my vantage point at one of the world's international airports where suddenly no one seemed safe and everyone was a suspect just waiting to be checked through a growing line of chaos and fears not knowing what to expect around the next unattended bag.  The fear was real and people were glued to the tv screens for any new news which might bring some sense of calm to the situation.  None came.  It was as if nature herself had lent a deathblow to the world of sanity and calm.  It was as if the entire world was slowly spinning out of control.  And yet here we are nine years later...

What have we learned?  Where do we stand?  Is it ok to look out of our hiding place and feel safe; knowing that we have survived the biggest event in our lifetime to date?  The experiences we call living, can help us to understand each other or drive us deeper into the well of unknowing and isolation.  The ideas embodied in our minds with all of the emotional attachments we carry around can propel us in many directions.  It's all depending on how we decide to accept or reject the truth which lies hidden within those life experiences. 

Into the wind... Let the Great Spirit be your guide.
