RE:9/11 Thanks for sharing. Death does make a person pause and ask the question what are we all doing here anyways?
I'm not really religious but I'm sentimental and do find meaning in traditions so I understand your yearly reflection.
My north star is to continue the fight for freedom (the idea that people can chose and express themselves in any way they please as long as they cause no harm to others). And to try our best to carve out a better tomorrow for the next generation(s) to come.
