I was at work, trying to catch snatches of the news.
A Pakistani Muslim I worked with cried like a baby. I couldn’t console him. It wasn’t in me.

What I instinctively did that afternoon is a question rather like what is the one thing I’d take out of a building on fire.
The answer reveals.
Whatever I did is pretty close to what my life is about.
I went into Deep quiet and wondered about Life and people fishing for hope and a future like the Old Man and the Sea. I journeyed into the heart of the story then wept there. Mostly for the hijackers.
Never knew how to describe what I did till this week reading a Terry Pritchett story called Maskerade. In the mad story the wonderful Mistress Weatherwax asked a Phantom of the Opera who loved and lived in the the Opera House what would you take out with you if the Opera House was on fire?
He answered: I’d take out the fire.
I went into the fire of our story. Attempting to funnel it into our sea. That’s what I did. That’s what I am about.
