And since this is 9/11, the tenth anniversary of the most shattering day in my life at least, I'll leave you on a high note: cskendrick's hauntingly beautiful 9/11 Requiem.
September Eleventh brought this country together as no day before or since. For a few days and weeks, no divisions mattered; we were all Americans, nous sommes tous Américains, as Le Monde headlined on 9/12.
Maybe this community taking action in the way it is, together, will do something similar for us. A house divided against itself cannot stand. With grace, humility and good will, we will muster this crisis as we have so many before.
