Breathe in your So and out your Hum

This past Sept 11th snuck up on me. When I turned on the news that morning, I wasn’t prepared. I was watching the coverage from ground zero as my 10 year old daughter was getting ready for school and she looked over at me just as a tear rolled down my face. She asked…
