Meditation
THOSE men,
THOSE women,
THOSE children,
That agony,
Those screams,
Those lost forever(?) dreams….

For THOSE who dreamed,
For THOSE who screamed,
For THOSE who perished,
For THOSE who remain who ache – who still ache – after all these odd, odd
years, For the kin of THOSE For the friends and lovers of THOSE For the
towns and countries of THOSE For the pure brotherly love I feel for THOSE I,
one of those who still loves THOSE who perished, dedicate a moment of time
To Heal On September Eleventh

Plea
To you who can heal a mind or a heart or a body or a soul or a something
else, I, one of those of us who still loves THOSE who perished, plea to you
to join us in tithing time

And Me
Though I am not a medical doctor,
Though I am not a spiritual doctor,
Though I am not a mental or emotional nor political doctor, nor any other
healer nonetheless what I can do, that I will do..

And the least I can do for you is this:

I can hope for you,
I can dream dreams of peace for you,
I can hug for you,
I can speak encouragement for you,
I can spread a smile for you,
I can hold a hand for you,
I can write to heal for you,
THOSE whom I love who perished in September.

So, to you, THOSE of you whose bodies perished on that fateful morn, All
future September 11th mornings belonging to me, I dedicate a moment of time
To Heal On September Eleventh…

To The Loved Ones Of THOSE
Now that that part is finished, the terrorists are impotent against THOSE
The terrorists’ terror is now finished against THOSE The terrorists have no
more weapons against THOSE And now we, those who love THOSE who perished can
defiantly SMILE for THOSE To Heal On September Eleventh

Changing September 11th by Chezon Jackson

Changing September 11th by Chezon Jackson
Posted with permission of the author

Five years ago today, we awoke to the media flashing dreadful images of horror hitting our country.

I remember feeling locked in the helpless/hopeless fear the media’s images permeated.

Even now, every time I hear their recap, it feels as if “evil” is winning again.

On the one year anniversary of September 11th, I decided to move these motivational emails from the few forwards to friends to a web environment that could ultimately affect the world.  I was, and am, confident each time a positive email is sent, each time a genuine smile is offered, each focused optimistic extension saturates the future with positive energy.

This inspirational newsletter is a “part-time” job for me. I am devoted to motivating the world, equally if not more diligently than any “terrorist”. Instead of focusing on the damage that happened that day, I choose to focus on growth. On that day, I was amazed at the number of individuals, social workers, firefighters, police officials, neighbors and “strangers” that ran to the aid of their fellow citizens.  When in actuality, those same “heroes” were heroes the day before. Only uncelebrated. Only un-acknowledged. The
same way we were citizens the day before, only we hadn’t realized how much we needed each other; how inter-and inner-connected we all are.

During the time I spend searching for more motivation, I am constantly reminding myself that the only way we will change the world is if we change the world. Simple statement, yes. But it won’t be done until we do it.  Until we take a stand, demand better for ourselves, for each other. We can’t wait for a government official to want better for us, we have to demand it and then stay on top until it happens. Stay on top of maintaining it.  We have to remember that wanting better for ourselves includes our health – mental,
emotional and physical.  We have to want better for our environment – our immediate neighborhoods, our state, our country, our Earth. We have to insist that our best interests are kept in mind, by our loved ones, our employers, our government, our society.

We have to remember that  September 11th isn’t an anniversary to remember plans or planes crashing. September 11th is the day to remember that love prevails, despite death, hatred and hard times. A day to remember we are strong. A day to remind ourselves that we are growing stronger. September 11th , like every day, is a day of choice. A day to continue fighting for your right for happiness, for your dreams, for your family, for yourself. We are worth it.
