George,
I found, and will use for our university's 9/11 memorial, a text I used for
our ABE/ESOL class that started the week after 9/11/01: I was in the
classroom preparing when I heard the first news. I had this text posted for
a long time in the classroom. It's printed, and was at the time, with a
picture of the twin towers against the blue sky. The site is Spirituality
and Practice, http://spiritualityandpractice.com/practices. Scroll down to
the "I am" prayers, and you'll find one that was written the day of the
event and published the next day, based on "Call me by my true names" by
Thich Naht Hanh. I find it very moving and very universal.
Best, and blessings,
Bonnie

Are any of the programs going to include a commemoration of the 9-11 5th
anniversary.  Our program begins the year on 9-11 and we would like to
include a short reading for tutors to work with their individual groups.

The anniversary itself has become so politicized that it's difficult to find
an appropriate short text.  If anyone can provide a source that is
reasonably non-partisan, respectful, and ideally, thoughtful please send it
to me at gdemetrion at msn.com or post on-line as I'm sure others are similarly
interested.

Thanks,

George Demetrion
