Seventh Anniversary of 9/11...Lest we forget
I don’t need to remind you what today is. Remembering that day brought John Donne’s poem to mind.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
It brought something else to mind, just how grateful I am to call you friends.
Paul
