a little tardyyy...9/11

TRAVELING ON 9/11
SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH TWO THOUSAND-EIGHT ?
OR IS IT SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH TWO THOUSAND-ONE ?

UNSURE AS TO WHETHER MY MINDSET, OUR MINDSET SHOULD BE NOT NECESSARILY STUCK, BUT AWARE OF 7YEARS AGO TO THIS DATE OR TODAY’S DATE, AND TODAY’S YEAR

WHICH CAN WE BENEFIT FROM ? WHICH CAN WE BIULD TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY WITH ? ONE WILL NEVER KNOW. PERSONALLY, I CAN ONLY PONDER.

UPON ENTRY INTO LOGAN AIRPORT (BOSTON ARIPORT), I KNEW SOMETHING WOULD BE DIFFERENT…MAYBE THE OVERALL AURA, OR MAYBE THERE WOULD BE MORE HOMELAND SECURITY OFFICERS….BOTH WERE TRUE. UNSURPRISED TO THIS, I JUST ABIDED BY INSTUCTIONS GIVEN TO ME BY THE UNIFORMED DRESSED MEN AND PROCEEDED ALONG TO SECURITY, WHERE OF COURSE I WAS STOPPED AND SOME OF MY FAVORITE TOILETRIES WERE THROWN OUT… WHATEVER, YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME AND MONEY CIRCLES RIGHT BACK AROUND.

AS I LOOK AROUND, LIKE I USUALLY DO WHEN I GET TO THE AIRPORT, I HEAR YOUTHFUL GIGGLES AND STOMPING FEET, REMINDING ME OF NOT ONLY BEING THAT AGE, BUT HOW QUICKLY IT ALL CHANGES. I HEAR ITALIAN, ENGLISH, AND EVEN HEBREW…THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW. THE MELTING POTS OF LANGUAGES AND PEOPLE, FOR THE SAME REASON WE’RE ALL HERE FOR – THE MONEY. BECAUSE WITH MONEY…WELL LETS BE HONEST, WE CAN DO AND BUY WHATEVER IT IS WE WANT…MORE MONEY MORE POWER. NOPE ITS NOT THE SOLUTION TO FAMILY DISPUTES, MARITAL PROBLEMS, OR UNHAPPINESS BUT IT WILL PROVIDE THAT TEMPORARY SMILE TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY OR THE HOUR FOR THAT MATTER.

HERE IN BOSTON, THEY PROVIDE WHITE ROCKING CHAIRS FOR THE PASSENGERS TO SIT ON AND OBSERVE THE DEPARTING FLIGHTS. TO SOOTHE AND CALM UNEASY NERVES…MAYBE? TO TAKE YOU ON A MENTAL VOYAGE TO A SUMMERHOUSE SITING ON THE CLEAR BLUE BEACHES AND GOLDEN SAND, TAKING YOU AWAY FROM REALITY…THAT’S ALSO THE AMERICA I KNOW. ANY DISTRACTIONS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE INDIVIDUAL WITH AN ESCAPE, MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY, WE’LL

I LIKE LOOKING AROUND, WONDERING WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE HEADED OFF TO, WHERE DID THEY JUST COME FROM, HOW MANY BAGS THEY CHECKED, OR WHERE THEY GOT THEIR ADORABLE FLATS FROM ?

EH, JUST THOUGHT I’D WELCOME YOU ALL TO MY MIND FOR A FEW MINUTES.
