Dear Friends,

I too thought of the Percy schaddenfreud paradox as I watched the 911 horror.
And then it occurred to me that it wasn't working even a little bit. I didn't
feel a sense of "all in it together" like when buying duct tape and batteries
at the hardware store when the hurricane is on the way. In fact even looking
for the freud when the shadden hit -- that search in itself made me feel
worse than I had before. In short, this is one time when the Percy words
aren't working. More appropriate were the words of Eliot: Sometimes the
cricket brings no relief and I will show you fear in a handfull of dust...

Nikki
