| FINDING NORMAL |
VIDEO EXCERPT: from the documentary "Finding Normal," by Ioanna Roumeliotis of The National. Mary and Patty Sullivan from Queens, New York, cope with the death of their son who worked in the World Trade Center. (Runs 6:20)
In the video Mary Sullivan recites "A Lament," written by British poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1821, a year before his own death.
A Lament
O world! O life! O time!
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more--Oh, never more!
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight;
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar,
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more--Oh, never more!

| YOUR TURN |
My life seems different now....
It appears as though things are normal, but under the surface they aren't. Before September 11th, talk of war would have seemed ludicrous.
Life has changed and it seems it might not get back to 'normal' for a long time.
Does your life seem different? If yes, how? If not, why?
