"There are no words"

Tonight I went to an internet cafe and watched CNN's original September 11th coverage from about 8:30 PM until 11 PM. Now I am back in my hotel room listening to the coverage that occured just after noon that day. I do not feel 12 timezones and 5 years away. As if it was yesterday, I still remember the shock hearing on the radio that the towers had collapsed, I still remember the sight of all of southern Manhattan seemingly going up in smoke, I still remember fighter planes screaming over Manhattan, I still remember the smell of burning debris wafting uptown for many weeks.
And I remember wondering what we as individuals can do to fix our broken world.

Tonight, I wish I was in New York.
