A day you can never forget.
by Ashley Weeks Cart
The man who officiated our wedding wrote these words eleven years ago. I went back into the archives of our college newspaper this morning and re-read them. And I was grateful for the peace and wisdom that they still provide. Just as I am forever grateful that I was here, at Williams, on that terrible Tuesday morning eleven years ago today.
Full piece here.
“It will matter that we were here, together, because when the terrible light of Tuesday morning wrenched our eyes open and burned one morning in time onto the retina of all our hearts, what we saw first was the preciousness of each other, the eloquent beauty of the world we share, and the unmistakable call to rise together to the rising of life itself, out of the very ashes of death, to make and to keep promises about how to help restore the movements of light and life, hope and healing, to this wounded world.” – Rick Spalding
Thanks for awakening this.
I know exactly where I was and what I was doing.
I will never forget.
