If you were in New York, you know.

If you flew that day, you know

If you saw, you know.

You may not seem wounded, but you are

You may not be bloodied, but you are.

You may not be hiding, but you are.

We may not be fleeing, but we are all fleeing

Don’t think you are fortunate to be far away.  You aren’t.

Don’t think you were fortunate to be spared.  You weren’t.

Don’t think you were fortunate to be left whole.  You’re not.

Every soul is wounded.

Every soul is bloodied

Every soul reels

Every soul who sees will never be the same.

Everyone is a victim of every crime

We are all lost

Because

We are all saved.
