I have never really been a George W. Bush fan. However, today in Shanksville PA, he upped his game with his 20th anniversary speech in my opinion.
@cindy @lovendures, I totally agree. I thought it was a powerful speech.
Also wanted to share that the documentary film, "Memory Box: Echoes of 9/11" will be airing tonight and tomorrow at 10pm EST, on MSNBC.
I’m grateful to lovendures for posting about this film earlier this week in the “Music Videos … That Get Us Through” thread:

I can't say enough about this film!!!
So many messages of hope and resilience from such a devastating period of time. We both were completely moved and struck by this documentary.
"In the wake of 9/11, artist Ruth Sergel set up a plywood video booth in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville, Pa. Hundreds of eyewitnesses shared their intimate recollections in the aftermath of the attacks. Now, twenty years later, they return to reflect upon the past two decades and how they’ve moved forward. Meet some of the voices of “Memory Box: Echoes of 9/11.”
@cindy I just watched it and I'm just amazed how different he comes across now than the W of twenty years ago. I almost like him now. It was a very moving speech.
@deetoo @lovendures I actually plan to watch the "Memory Box" doc tomorrow. Glad to hear it's good!
I watched Turning Point: 9/11 & the War on Terror (Netflix) today and it is very well made, very informative. It basically captures the full story of 9/11 and the battles afterwards.
Although a warning for anyone who decides to watch it, there are graphic photos/videos of the war, dead Afghanistan people, etc. Plus the 9/11 footage/stories is always heartbreaking to me, bring tissues.
I had a distance reiki session this morning that began with a FaceTime chat. I told my reiki specialist that I was feeling out of sorts with the 9/11 anniversary, and she said she felt like we were on the cusp of another sudden, world-altering event. After you two, she's the third person I know who has said something of that sort lately.
@coyote It feels as if everything is so crazy right now because we're going through the labor pains of the new age. It's going to be painful and messy, but we (or our children) will be living in the new baby-fresh age soon. Well, "soon" because who knows what the timeline will be.

I am feeling the same - I mentioned it in the Random Predictions thread, but stopped short of making an official prediction since I'm not sure exactly what I'm sensing ahead.
I did get the sense it would involve fire and/or earth in some capacity (which made me think volcano? there have been some predictions about one made on RTF nights) but also felt that we must bear witness and that it would provide some level of "heart clarity" as it would be necessary to actively turn away from fear (which doesn't quite mesh with a volcano).
I do feel that, if it happens, it will be soon.
@coyote A reading I did a while back seem to indicate that 2022 would continue the blue wave, primarily stemming from some sort of event that I could not get a read on that’s really woke everyone up to a bunch of dangers. I have absolutely no idea what this event is, but the timeline you guys are feeling definitely seems to track with that.
I lament, but I am back to work in the office and not at home, and throwing cards is a difficulty with my new school year schedule. But I will try to get a read this week and see if anything new surfaces.
