In this deeply personal account, I share my experience as a Manhattan public school teacher on September 11, 2001, and how that day transformed my life path and spiritual journey.
• Feeling inexplicably anxious the weekend before 9/11, something many others reported experiencing
• Learning about the attacks while teaching and having to tell my students what happened without causing panic
• Witnessing Broadway Boulevard become a silent river of people walking north as the city shut down
• Shopkeepers bringing sneakers to women walking in stockings, bodegas offering water to those making the long trek home
• The heartbreaking story of José, whose father worked at the World Trade Center and never came home
• Coping with trauma by drinking sleepy time tea constantly throughout the school day
• Eventually leaving New York for Florida to heal and begin questioning the official narrative
• How 9/11 became the catalyst for my spiritual awakening and journey toward truth-seeking
• Hoping that ongoing disclosure and questioning will eventually lead to a more transparent and compassionate world
