9/14/04

9/11/01 is the day that I decided that I was going to go ahead with my on-line manga. Watching the sadness in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania made me realize that life can be cut short, we need to live out our dreams now. I had a single candle lit in the window as I watched the TV that night. I picked up my pencil. For the first time in years I began to draw again. I drew a face after all the sad faces that I had seen that day on the TV and at work. The face came off looking angry I guess that is partly how I felt that night.  The evening of 9/11 I did not know if some of my family were dead o alive. My family was lucky. But everyone in New York knew someone who lost somebody.  Hearing the numbers is one thing but seeing the names of those that died give the numbers humanity. In Russia last week the same kind evil played again but this time they waged war on children. I thought after 9/11 that there could be no worse evil in my life time. But I was proved wrong last week.

In YU YU Hakusho  episode 87 or 88  After Sensui decides that humans have no right to live because we are capable of such evil, Koenma  tells Sensui  that there can not be light with out darkness. These words weighted heavy on my mind this week. I believe that peace begins with the individual. Each of us can make the choice in our lives to be peaceful.  We need to learn how to tolerate each other. Though I believe that there are those out there that have no wish to learn tolerance, hence the darkness.
