 i wish i were a volunteer cleaning the wreckage on the site where the
World Trade Centre used to be.

i feel a grief, a sorrow, an anxiety, for the losses - immediate and
extended... those that are realized today, and those thousand griefs
that have yet to take place, as we learn the names of those who who
have died...
