Emmylou Harris Hard Bargain Debuts in Billboard 200s Top 20
We made this record in about a month, which is quite
unusual for me. But I had all the material beforehand. Id
written 11 of the 13 songs and I really wanted to include two
more by other writers, Harris explains. One of the covers
is Ron Sexsmiths Hard Bargain which I absolutely love.
The other is by Jay Joyce, called Cross Yourself.

IN HIS OWN WORDS
My life now? Well, its not the way it was ten years ago, I can
tell you that. Once youve seen certain things they cant be
unseen, or unremembered. I remember all of it. It sits in me. It
sits in me every day I wake up. Hows my life today? Its
different. I dont count on sleep. Im more cautious in many
ways. Trauma changes you. Youre still you but fundamentally,
almost molecularly, rearranged. Its like when you have
children for the irst time (if youve ever had children). Theres
just a whole new standard for whats important to you. 9/11
did that to me.
You ask me what Ive learned? Im not sure, really. But I know
that on that day, I learned that for whatever measure of
human cruelty exist in the world there is a hundred-fold
measure of human decency ready to respond to it. What
confuses me is how much of that human decency the count-
less and unrecorded acts of kindness, aid and mercy that
happened on that day were lost on so many in the years that
followed. My hope is that we can remember that higher calling
so many heard and acted upon when the ire came and let it be
the call we answer every morning, ire or no ire.

IN THEIR OWN WORDSIn one way its very easy to explain the effect that 9/11 had on us. Every-
thing Dan and I had prior to that deadly day was taken from us, everything,
that is, except our lives. Its as if everything we knew had vanished in the
blink of an eye. Our home was no longer. Our careers would soon be over.
And we lost so many friends and associates. The loss was so great, and
affected us in so many ways, that its almost impossible to explain.
We have since relocated to Northeast Pennsylvania and live in a lovely new
home in Hemlock Farms. This place has helped us heal. It has been an ad-
justment though. The biggest dificulty for me was not working. Dan is still
able to do what he did when we lived in Manhattan at least on an admin-
istrative level due to his injury. Hes still training volunteer ireighters and
has developed ire safety courses for seniors. He also volunteers as the disas-
ter services manager for the American Red Cross. Just as when he was a ire-
man, hes still responding to dire situations and taking care of those in need.

The events that changed the world,
the tragic events of 9/11, hap-
pened ten years ago. When they
occurred, the World had a wakeup
call. The rules had changed. No
longer could you take for granted
the simple, even comforting un-
conscious routine of going to your
ofice and doing your work.
That day was a great equalizer.
It didnt matter where you were
from, what you did, or what plans
you had for your life - if you were
up there, it didnt matter.That day showed how ugly peo-
ple can be to one another. It also
displayed of how loving, caring
and considerate people could be
towards each other, as so many
came together in the aftermath,
helping one another, sharing water,
supplies and oxygen in the midst of
the toxic cloud. Either way, it was a choice people made.
A decade later, as we look back, we are reminded of the lo
day. Sometimes it feels as if much of the spirit, strength, vision,
munity that was forged by that event has waned somew
responders are dying years later from inhaling that toxic dust c

despite the fact that these were our heroes back then.As time has indeed passed and some of the emotional and t
holds that 9/11 had on us have eased, we must dare to get pas

Additionally, how dare us not to? We must honor the los
experienced by creating anew. Never to replace them, but to

very cycle of life. By acknowledging and sharing the insigh

the chance to have our worst day.

High School for Leadership and Pub-
licServices was as unique as a high
school experience can be and my
junior year began like any other.
Situated next to the American
Stock exchange, students traveled
from Chinatown, Harlem and all
ive boroughs to attend the small
public high school. From the 14th
loor lunchroom, to the gym in
the basement, the one-time ofice
building was as unlikely a school
building as could be.
Still downtown Manhattan was
our playground and on September
10th, 2001 I walked through the
mall beneath the World Trade
Center. That night back in the
Brooklyn apartment where I lived
with my mother and three siblings
I hadnt a clue it would become my
last night as a normal sixteen year
old girl.
The following day was beautiful
and bright. My mother, the principals secretary, and I commuted separately
to the school. My irst class was in a windowless classroom on the 10th loor.
I was in my seat by 8:25, just about the time American Airlines Flight 11 made
a 100 degree turn towards New York City.
The next few days were a blur as I tried to locate my ireighter father who
as it turns out, was working in the wreckage. My mother says I watched
footage of the attack over and over again. I dont remember much about the
weeks following the attacks.
School was cancelled, reconvening months later in another location. Our
irst day back was illed with emotional electricity; students and faculty were
crying, hugging, cheering we had become a ive hundred person family with
an uncommon bond. Speaking of 9-11 however was dificult and I never fully
shared my experience with anyone. Instead I shut down, insisting to myself
that I was unfazed and just ine.
Now almost ten years later, I ind myself reminded of the attacks con-
stantly. Every time Im confronted with 9-11 in a movie, in artwork, or a book
I break down. It took me ten years to realize Im not ine and the only way to
heal is to confront my memories of that day. To relive what I saw, heard, felt,
and tasted. Go back inside the choking ash cloud, completely grey and alone
as the world crashes, literally, around you.
I did go back, and remembered a lot that Id forgotten. Its funny the things
that stay with you a Japanese tourist giving me his water on the bus thatinally took me out of lower Manhattan, or the sickly sweet burnt smell that
permeated the air for months, yet I have no recollection of my reunion with
my mother that evening. She remembers it, and it was amazing to hear about
her ordeal that day. Talking about 9-11 brought my family closer together
and my healing process has, inally, begun.

I am a World Trade Center
Survivor. I worked at 2 WTC on
the 73rd loor and was still on
the 44th loor with the plane hit

the years. There are times in
which Ive been depressed, angry,
overwhelmed with grief and

suffered from survivors guilt
