How am I to live with this shadow? What attitude is required if I am to be able to live in spite of evil? In order to find valid answers to these questions, a complete spiritual renewal is needed. And this cannot be given gratis; each [of us] must strive to achieve it for [ourselves]. Neither can old formulas that once had a value be brought into force again. The eternal truths cannot be transmitted mechanically; in every epoch they must be born anew from the human psyche.

~ Carl Jung
From the end of a 43-paragraph essay which is unmarked, but generally known as “After the Catastrophe�

This is the flag that was draped from the Pentagon after 9/11. We found it on display at The American History Musuem a few weeks ago where it will stay until the restoration of the Star Spangled Banner is completed.

A perfect tribute, Susan. The best I have read.
