Minimal words from me today. Today is for the people gone since Sept. 11 and more importantly, those who are still here on Sept. 11. When things are dark, I always turn to words from the great philosophers:

May the good lord shine a light on you And make every song you sing Your favorite tune

M. Jagger/K. Richards (Shine A Light)

May god bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others and let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung And may you stay Forever Young

B. Dylan (Forever Young)

Love and duty called you someplace higher Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire May your strength give us strength May your faith give us faith May your hope give us hope May your love bring us love

B. Springsteen (Into The Fire)
