Maybe the disturbance you guys sense is that such a simple truth requires a long journey. I mean, peace and comfort are generally two very different things. Peace is, oftentimes, an uneasy state - held together by tenuous threads of life because there simply isn't much in life which clearly outweighs the destructive forces we face, and it's always and forever a balancing act. Perhaps it's in the journey that we move closer to each other, not merely in the words. The moments themselves are what are precious - what bring us comfort and joy. We need to string them together with narrative, though. Give that peace a voice which is loud enough. I think, maybe, doing that is not so easy 'eh. “But peace will always be this: holding life up higher than destruction.”

@al thanks for reminding us that other people think differently. this sort of passion is so alien to me. i am tempted to call it hatred but am not sure whether that’s the right word. maybe it’s something that i need to learn more about.

@evan, thanks for your comment. yes, i think i know what you mean. maybe that’s why i haven’t yet found a way to “elevate” (<– triumph? competition?) my son’s birth over the tragedy.

And I'm not sure why - but I'm disturbed and dissatisfied. The feeling I get is competition or triumph. Not inclusion. This leads to some awfully complicated philosophy I know. I hope you get what my disturbance is about. For the moment I haven't been able to think it through any further. <em>Evan's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Wellbeingandhealthnet/~3/388346104/'>A Great Self-Development Site</a></em> Hi Isabella,

I agree. Many blessings to you and your son for many years to come. Sadly, those who engage in the kind of activity that brings about the 9/11 that is still happening have the completely opposite view: "We are going to win, because they love life and we love death." http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/stalinsky200405240846.asp I can't even begin to figure out how to respond that, but what is dangerous is people who love life ignoring and not confronting the message they are sending. “but peace will always be this: holding life up higher than destruction.”

Despite the horror and the tragedy, we still need to find ways to connect the good things with the dates when unfortunate things happened. My birthday is in exactly 8 days, and it was on the day that Mexico City's earthquake devastated hundreds of homes and killed hundreds of people. However, my friends still celebrate Sep 19th because it is the day when I was born. It would be silly not to do it just on account of being "aware". You have many reasons to be happy and they are associated with an event that happened more than 18 years before the unfortunate and tragic events of Sep 11. Happy birthday to your son! <em>Raul's last blog post..<a href='http://hummingbird604.com/2008/08/16/congratulations-on-your-new-eyes-dr-beth-snow/#comment-2942'>By: raincoaster</a></em> You’re right Isabella.
