One Tuesday Morning | Karen Kingsbury
post image

where were you that day
when it all went away — the
world that we once knew.

day of infamy,
thousands lost — landscape of our
world forever change.

I have that morning burned into my memory. I was a senior in a private high school & we were in chapel. One of my teachers came in to tell us what happened. We had his class next hour & sat there listening to the towers collapse on the radio. #neverforget ♥️🤍💙

CBee Thank you for posting this. It seems like it‘s being overshadowed by other news today and we must #neverforget. I was 24, and when I saw it on TV I thought it was an action movie at first 😢 25m
Cuilin @CBee agreed. It was my due date, I was convinced I would go into labor. My husband had an interview in a tower in Boston. They called and canceled it as they were evacuating all tall buildings in the city. Such a sad day #NeverForget. @JenlovesJT47 lovely tribute 21m

CBee @Cuilin I can‘t imagine being pregnant on that day! And your due date! Wow. 16m
ImperfectCJ I was at work, and we followed it on the radio then on TV before we were sent home. My dad worked in the Pentagon, so it was a relief when we could finally get through by phone and confirm he was okay. (His section of the building was under construction, so he was working off-site, but I didn't know that until the evening.) Thank you for posting this. 14m
JenlovesJT47 @CBee I spent the morning watching news footage on YouTube, don‘t know why I do this to myself every year but we must #neverforget 🫂♥️🤍💙 1m
JenlovesJT47 @ImperfectCJ that‘s so scary that he worked at the Pentagon! There‘s not tons of footage from there so I don‘t know much about it but I‘m glad he wasn‘t there. Such an awful day 🫂♥️💙🤍 now

I have been obsessed with Artemisia Gentileschi since reading the tagged and it is so interesting to see one of her paintings in real life.

Here is Susanna and the Elders

First poem in this collection by Rubén Darío, and the parallels between it and Nerval's Fantaisie jump out to me (but then, I'm French and I had to learn it by heart at school).

In the author‘s note, she describes the Nicaraguan poet‘s life, the subject of this book. Rubén Darío (1867-1916) appears to have had a tremendous impact on Latin America and in his home country, #Nicaragua. #foodandlit @catsandbooks
