The Saddest Day

I've never seen the city so sad. Underneath is a resiliency and a toughness--the city attracts survivors, people who've been through hell and want something more and yet want their privacy and space. This is a social city when you want to be social, but we love our alone and self-sufficient time. A storm forces people to be in touch with each other in ways that are uncomfortable. There are so many who are out of their zone and need help. And it's hard for them to admit or ask for it. Tomorrow, so many who were going to run their own private challenge are spending the time giving to others. It'll be as hard for them as it will be for those who's doors they knock. It's an experiment of giving beyond comfort to help those who suffer. We'll see how that goes.
