Day 11

Beneath a burning ball 93.2 million miles away, wave after wave rolls furiously toward our continent, inexhaustible, unrelenting, eight years to the eve of the attacks that damaged our hubris and carried fear into our sheltered world. We can never be immune to forces we don’t understand, to power we try to subdue, to the will of tragic desperation. Acts of violence rise out of poverty, out of fear, out of anger. Until we change the way we act upon the world, the waves of terror will never end.
