Thinking of London, remembering New York

It's hard to know what to say about today's tragic events in London other than, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the U.K. who has been affected by these horrific acts of terrorism. It put me in mind of the essay I wrote back on September 12, 2001, when the images on the TV screen weren't across the Atlantic but across the Hudson. It's still sitting on the Mothers with Attitude site, and anyone in a reflective mood can read it here. It's good, sometimes, to get a little perspective, but it would be nice if it didn't require such heartbreak and bloodshed.
