Grievances

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the most devastating event to happen to my country in my lifetime. This is the point where I realize how very limiting our language is. This is the time where words cannot do an event justice - the statistics and images carry far greater weight - to realize the death toll, to embrace the sadness wrapped around our country, especially this great city, today, or worse, this day 5 years ago - it's far better to show respect by honoring with silence, if the words, at least my clumsy collection of words, won't work for this.*
