Greetings from Maine. Tonight everywhere people are lighting candles, and flying the American flag. Suddenly the shadows of night fell, and the waving flags and candles frame the silhouettes of groups of people lining the roadways and the side streets, in the night. The voices cheer , and call. out Whispers amplify in the cool air, and horns are honking. America's spirit is undergoing a revival. It seems like 1776,but it is 2001. Terrorism is stealthy. I am still having a hard time with the fact tjhat they slept - or hid - in a local motel, and could have driven through my neighborhood to get to the airport , before they boarded early morning commuter flights to Boston. Somehow Maine is projected into the spotlight , but it is not our rocky coasts and sandy beaches that you see. Instead, it is the endless tragedy unfolding in an unimaginable and unsettling manner. I am upset that the Parkinson's Walk had to be cancelled. I really am worried that our research monies from the Udall Act will be lost and that research will be even further delayed. The world is changing so fast that I feel like every moment is crucial. People are definitely in many stages of grief and anger. Thank you for your support, everyone, and for whatever reason , please keep writing.
