dear September 11,

Like many people I remember the blue sky that day.
Impossibly blue, with air perfectly resonant of autumn.
I was on the Cape, where the water always instills the blue sky with seemingly more blue sky molecules.
We went to Nauset Beach and it was beautiful.
Yet the panic and terror being experienced by so many in those moments......
Perhaps the day was so profoundly beautiful in exchange for holding all that pain.
