9-11 of our Economic World

[Donna Marino]

Remember how 9-11 woke us all up...woke us up to how much we took our safety and security for granted? Woke us up to how short life is? Woke us up to thinking about getting our priorities back in order? And, for a while it did...flags waved, neighbors talked to each other again, we remembered to say, "I Love You" more often..before our loved ones left the house. 9-11 stopped us in our tracks and grounded us in a way that we hadn't been for a long time. And then, as par for the course, we kept on hummin' and somehow we wound up here, 8 years later in the biggest economic crises for the boomer generation. What if, this economic time, were considered the
9-11 of our Economic World and we began to ask ourselves, what do we all need to do differently to get us grounded again? How might our lives change, in community, in family, in nation?
