All down the block people are flying flags. The breeze lifts them and the sun shines through. I feel at one with my neighbors. It is impossible to put my mind to anything. I went to the office, but did not work. Puna showed me pictures on the web. I went to Jenny's to try to have the meeting we were supposed to have yesterday, but mostly we just watched tv. We heard Powell talk. And Rumsfeld Throughout soccer I found I was holding my cell phone in my hand because it made me feel better. Suddenly it's not just a gadget, but a totem of, not security, but connection, unity.
