From the not-so-distant past

I don't quite know why I'm still awake as I really should be asleep, since I have to wake up in about 5 hours to make my weekly commute to NYC, but I am. Since I am awake anyway, I thought I would share something I ran across today while tidying up my personal web account. This is something I wrote September 18th, 2001, according to the filesystem. I don't know if I ever linked to it from anywhere except possibly a few posts on slashdot, so you can't go find it in the internet wayback machine - you'll just have to trust me that I wrote it then. I've cleaned up a typo or two, added an lj-cut tag, and reduced the level of the heading tag, but it's otherwise as I wrote it then:

September prayers

Many people recently have been saying "our prayers are with the victims and their families". While that is good, and proper, that's not where prayers should end. Prayer is powerful, and praying that one phrase over and over changes us in ways I am finding gradually more and more ugly.

Therefore, I thought that I should share where my prayers have been this past week.
