I asked her is she was ever afraid of flying. She said that she has no control over when she dies. When it's her time then it will be her time. If she is meant to die on a plane, then she will. This is how I try to live my life. I am grateful for each day that I am given.<br />xo<br />BrookeVelvet and Linenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254920453147895763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-67626733847303634262010-11-21T10:25:07.680-05:002010-11-21T10:25:07.680-05:00I love this Robert Bly poem Pamela!

My husband was abroad and was expected back to New York that afternoon.

All else can be fixed. We humans are so fragile....<br /><br />Thank you for a lovely post.

I used to travel to NY frequently and was devestated by the events of 9/11. <br /><br />I was in California on this terrible day and returned to NY the day the flying restrictions were lifted. I'll never forget the complete silence on the plane. The gentleman sitting next to me asked me if I was afraid...I told him that I did feel a little afraid. He looked at me and said you can't be afraid of dying...you must be afraid of not living. <br /><br />I've never forgotten that man or his amazing message. <br /><br />Thank you for your visit!<br /><br />xoxo<br />KarynWinchester Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381226107593087108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-36587779227493278912010-11-19T12:37:13.389-05:002010-11-19T12:37:13.389-05:00Interesting read Pamela.

I feel that there is no point sitting at home until ' all this terrorism business is over' !!!! <br />When I worked in London, we all had to be aware of Irish terrorists....a bomb went off in a restaurant under my workplace. That all eventually stopped and now has been replaced with more. This will always happen and we must carry on with our lives.<br />How fortunate that the bakery was closed....there could have been such a disaster.<br />Have a lovely weekend Pamela.

I have often thought about fate, why things happen the way they do. My father was supposed to be on the Lockerbie flight, but due to a bad cold coming on a colleague took his place at the last minute. Sometimes the "what ifs" can keep you up at night. Thank goodness no one was in that bakery. I'm so very glad to hear it. This was a beautiful and very thought provoking piece. I loved the Bly poem as well!<br /><br />H.H.Hill House Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18412649709294802444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-90633488171892006862010-11-18T18:44:57.053-05:002010-11-18T18:44:57.053-05:00true, true and true! wonderful post and I love the...true, true and true! wonderful post and I love the picture of you and Edward walking along the leaf covered path :)Jeane Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027843717050683473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-79771332873433258372010-11-18T18:18:58.824-05:002010-11-18T18:18:58.824-05:00Great Bly poem, and amazing bakery luck.

As I came above ground, I had the strangest feeling... that this was the last time I would see this place, and the little plaza across the street, with coffee carts etc lining the perimeter. Such a clear feeling, I wondered if I was going to die or something. I had the same feeling on the way home, so I stopped and bought a red beret I saw in a shop window on the concourse. I worked from home the next day, just across the Hudson, facing Manhattan. It was indeed the last time I saw that plaza, and the WTC. Life is strange & powerful. Your blog is lovely; I have seen your name before and never realized that Edward is a dog, though the most handsome one at that!

Fate?<br />Years ago while taking the train to Sweden from Germany, we were on the exact train that went over the bridge at Eschede with the loss of over 399 lives, 24hrs before the accident. The Prof said at the time "if I didn't know these trains cant have square wheels, I would swear it had one. I can hear it" <br />It is odd to contemplate the fact that we had meant to travel a day later but had changed our schedule.On the way back, days later, a lady sat at our table in the dining car and told us she went back to get her umbrella and missed the doomed train. Coincidence> I think not. I see the hand of God all too clearly.<br /><br />Life is fragile at the best of times so it is best to make the best of it while we can.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-2741951502506273712010-11-18T16:11:48.040-05:002010-11-18T16:11:48.040-05:00Faith and Hope - the miracle workers!Faith and Hope - the miracle workers!Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471263543430641785noreply@blogger.com
