As long as we can still remember that once it was Armistice Day, that once we celebrated peace, that once we hoped to end all war forever, there’s still hope for that peace. All we have to do is work for it.
Remember Armistice Day today. Work for peace.

But here’s the thing. Hope is a pretty durable emotion. Once you’ve caught it, it takes a lot to extinguish it again. So I’m going to keep hoping. I’m going to keep remembering.

The earth is screaming out in misery from what we’re still doing to the climate. A genocide is taking place in the Middle East, and the people who are pointing that out are being fired, and expelled, and censured, and killed.

More than twenty years later, that hope seems misplaced. Things are actively worse now than they were then. Democracy is under attack in so many places, and in so many ways, especially here in the States.

That whatever else we did, there was still something bigger than we are that wished for us to be better.

It wasn’t really a silence. It was a presence, too big to be fully seen. And that silence spoke of grief, and horrors, and strangely enough, of hope. That maybe this time we’d learn from our mistakes, from our sins and greed and hates.

And I can understand a little why the soldiers felt that.
Sitting on a bus in th13e middle of a modern European city, all man-made sounds stopped. No radio, no television, no cars, no trucks, no trains, no planes. Not a single man-made sound. Not a single voice.

I’m not religious. I’ve seen far too much evil done in the name of someone’s god(s) to ever be religious, but I was in Germany on the first Friday after the 9/11 attacks, there on European soil while all of Europe practiced a moment of silence to honor those who were killed by those attacks.
