The Daily Word in falling satellites, no clergy allowed at 9/11 ceremony and people wearing clown noses to spread joy.

Mayor Bloomberg knows more about New York City than I know. If he feels that banning the Clergy from the memorial is the right thing, I certainly can't differ. He feels that including Imams in any ceremony would be required, if there are Priests, Pastors and Rabbis in the ceremony; so therefore, there isn't any representation of prayer for any Religious group. (One child is naughty; no one gets ice cream).

The only book on prayer I ever read was by a well-read Santa Fe author (Larry Dossey??) and he is a liberal. It is a great read. It gave insight and nearly proves that prayer is a positive force that can improve people and society, especially during the hours when we are the weakest and most vulnerable. Personally, I would like some comfort here, for the survivors and their families, not to mention our national spirit. We were all Americans before local squabbles tore us apart again. We flew flags.

On that awful day, it was difficult to look men in the eye. Many were tearful, so we looked the other way. White, Native, Hispanic and Black. I struggled with composure for every customer that day, and more.

In a strange way, my personal spiritual relief and misty-eyed moments may be before the NFL games. That's where you may receive the permission to grieve once again and honor the victims. There will be moments of silence. There will be remembrances, especially for the heroes of Flight 93, whose lives weren't taken, but whose lives were willfully given as a sacrifice for others. In some cities, there may actually be prayer.

I'm in a circle, and back to "Mayor Bloomberg knows more about New York City..."
