I don't know exactly where I was when I first heard the news. I honestly don't. I do remember meeting my NYC roommate near the shuttle stop, and she was frantic. I didn't understand what she was saying, not because I couldn't understand her, but because I had no idea what the Pentagon was or where the Twin Towers were. I should probably be embarrassed by that, but I'm not. I lived a dreamy-sheltered life, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.
When I reflect on 9/11, I don't typically think about where I was that day or how the news coverage affected me. Instead, I think about how we reacted, and how that reaction has shaped the world I belong in.
The Washington Post asked religious leaders around the world to share their thoughts on religion and the post 9/11 world. I most enjoyed Desmond Tutu's: Our post-9/11 failures. His words are spoken so well. He represents the thoughts of an educated, Christlike, non-American. He shows us how the world views and interprets our actions. Our post-9/11 failures.
