Its been exactly five months since I said that I would start keeping
this journal up to date again. Well, somethings take as long as they take.
There have been a number of events that have taken place in the intervening
time, however, one has reminded me that I need to keep this log more up to
date.
In
May
1999 I wrote about a bomb that went off in the Admiral Duncan, a gay pub in
London's Soho district, in Old Compton Street. Its interesting to note here
that the perpretrator was a single man - one person who decided to make a
difference. That incident whilst it was shocking at the time was something that
was familiar. I lived in Guildford as a child and remember the IRA bombing 2
pubs in one night there in 1974. Although my brothers and sister were in the
town that night they were safe and unhurt.
Two weeks ago on September
11th two bombs went off that were on another scale.
The World Trade Centre in New York was demolished. There was a
further attack on the Pentagon and a fourth airplane crashed in Pennsylvania.
All this in the space of a couple of hours.
 |
Clearly this has changed the map that we all had about our selves and
the world. Now, and for the last two weeks or so the talk as been of war as
well as a global crisis. The shock of the attacks is beginning to wear off and
people are talking more about the survivors and what happens next. |
During and
immediately after the attacks the media interest was on the people involved -
those that died and those that helped. I noticed that as I watched the pictures
of the WTC I moved constantly from associated and disassociated and back again.
Although disassociated was far more comfortable. A number of my clients
described how it has changed their view of the world.
The next event
will that of military action - more than the Gulf War I feel that this will
have more impact.
I've put a couple of messages up on NLP and NLPt
notice boards about viewing this from an NLP point of view. There has been no
response as yet.
