September 11. I don’t want to dwell too much on this date.
That day has already taken so much from us that to dwell on it gives it too much power over us, keeping us tied to a moment that is becoming more and more distant.
No, I will never forget that day or this date but it must be as a memory of the departed and not as a source of fear or anger for that moment. We can not remain in that past. The world moves on and we must go with it.
I thought that for today I would share a song that is synonymous with unity and coming to the comfort of others, Bridge Over Troubled Water. There are so many great versions of this song, from original by Simon and Garfunkel to the powerful Aretha Franklin and earthy Johnny Cash covers, that it was hard to choose one. But this version from Roberta Flack is so delicately powerful and soulful that it sometimes seems like a different song when I hear it. Just a lovely performance of a great song.
Have a good day.
