SEPTEMBER 11, 2005
There was the crisp bite of autumn in the air today. Just a teaser, sure, for I'll see another month of Indian Summer. But it was wonderful.
Fall, not spring, has always been the season of rebirth to me. I don't know why. Maybe it goes back to childhood, and the beginning of another school year; the return of college football; pennant races; the end of blistering days in the sweltering South.
And so when I contemplated 9/11 today, it was to quietly applaud the rebirth of backbone in our nation; the rebirth of pride in our terrible swift sword response. Not death, or decay. Except for our enemies. And they are legion, yes, but far, far fewer than they were. And fewer still tomorrow.
very nice..

Fall is the season of rebirth and renewal to me, as well. Maybe that's because of my religious heritage, in which the new year starts in the fall. Whatever.
"Fewer still tomorrow." Amen, bruthuh.
