Expressing gratitude can be a humbling experience when it is authentic. It can be expressed as the dizzying honor and awe that one feels when we owe our life to something greater than ourselves. And while most of us have no problem expressing it, I suspect that there are times we seldom give pause and reflect on the source and act of gratitude.

A WAR BY ANY OTHER NAME…revisited
I wrote the first article on 9-11 about one month after 9-11-01 and submitted it to the Contra Costa Times. (I have it posted here on my blog under the date of October 4, 2001) Of course, they never published it. What a surprise.
Looking back on my concerns of the time, I am saddened by the fact that what I feared has, for the most part, come true.

Raised In Your Shadow
Raised in your shadow, you are the boney earth on display
My soul or yours – O’ Diablo
You hold the ancient sea at your peaks
And the new earth at your feet
You are the convergence of time and earthly spirit
Weep for those that do not see, or hear it
