Memory of 9/11        

September 11, 2007

I remember that morning 6 years ago very well…

Karma arranged for me to witness that day as it was happening. Just before 9 am I did turn on TV to see what the exact time was. Early afternoon I had to go to my Japanese class. To pay for the next semester I needed some funds and did not want to miss the bus to my bank.

As the TV screen materialized fully there was no sound. What was shown was one of the twin towers with huge burning hole and dark smoke coming. I was puzzled. This is not what usually was on the TV schedule and I was wondering why there is a movie being played… And next moment I thought who would make such a terrible movie? ... This seen did not look real to me… and nobody was talking… Than very confused commenting that there is a fire at twin tower, but it is impossible to connect to any government agency to find out what is going on…

Puzzled I decided to miss my bus and watch... There was something surreal in the air, and even here in Rochester I did not hear any traffic on the streets too…  Few minutes later I noticed black airplane flying into second tower… and I realized that something really terrible is happening…

Short time later the first tower was collapsing before my eyes… People jumping from windows into abyss, clouds of dust, running away crowds, screams and confusion…

Later it was reported that several airplanes originating from Boston were missing…

My mind stopped and I could not comprehend…

As I watched this tragedy to evolve I knew that the world as I have known to be till now will never be the same again… I knew that this moment will bring major turn in the history of humanity.

Today, six years later we all know and suffer the consequences of this one act. World is indeed not the same and never will be…

Is there any way to stop the madness?

Purify your karma and open your heart…
