The start of autumn often reminds me of that crisp September day in 2001 in NYC when our world shook, but then I remember that Sept 11 in history is also when Vivekananda gave his famous speech on interfaith understanding at the 1893 Parliament of World Religions and Gandhi announced his strategy of non-violence in South Africa in 1906. Let’s reclaim 9/11 as a day of transcendent kindness. -Preeta
