"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." - Matthew 5:4
September 11, 2001
We are healed only after we hurt,
caught only after we fall,
reconciled only after we fight,
and answer only after the call.
We are cured only after the sickness,
absolved only after sin,
satisfied only after hunger,
finish only once we begin.
We are at the peak after the valley,
comforted when we mourn,
speak only after there is silence,
rebuilt after being torn.
We will go on after this day
for all of us, you and I,
will be together after we are parted
and will be saved after we die.
We, the people must walk in darkness
before we can get to the light.
Order only after chaos,
Peace only after the fight.
From the ashes shall rise the phoenix,
from the wrong shall rise the right.
From the darkest hours of our history
will come the finest and bright.
- Christopher E. Sexton
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence on mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
- Psalm 23
