Peace be with you

I am SO freaking angry. WHY did Bush have to say all that crap about hunting down and punishing the culprit and the NATION harboring the culprit? I mean, terrorist attacks are the fault of the terrorist, do we NEED to go to war unnecessarily? And what if an American is responsible? Are we going to punish ourselves?

But my mom just talked to me and says that this is a definite act of war, too planned and deliberate to be anything else. And she says we are all in danger.

I am scared.

This is so draining. From the beginning, this has been pulling the life out of me. Liz sat next to me in class this morning, the class ended up holding hands and praying. My hand had her handmarks on it for a good half-hour.

I continue to despise umass and the pvta. Though the campus was much les raucus today. I just could not deal with it. I kept saying I have to go home. I need to get back to Smith. I have to see my residents.

I really want to spearhead a team of Smithies to go up to NYC and help with the relief effort. But I am so scared, because I have never done that, and it might not work, and I might put us in danger. But I can't just SIT and do NOTHING, and I can't even give blood because my veins are too small. (I am gonna try anyways though)

There is no where to go.

Dear Lord. Give us kindness.
Dear Mary. Give us peace.
Dear God. Give us strength.

Oh Holy Spirit, come to me tonight, bring Your wisdom upon our house and grant us the calmness we need. Abolish our instinct to blame and cultivate our desire to help.
