How to Endure Calamity

If you are like me, you may be a bit fatigued from all the news and media coverage this week on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Some of it was interesting.

There was a horrifying video that was filmed from inside the north tower during the collapse of the south tower, and you could hear people hitting the lower roof after having jumped out of the towers to their death. Some of those pictures and videotapes were extremely disturbing, and it was a difficult and still-shocking experience to relive the disaster again after just one year...
