About the Book
The goal of this effort is to provide hope in meeting vulnerability with trust. The themes of 1015 and 915 come from my realization that 1015 is a symbol of vulnerability for me. It would have been around 10:15 am on September 11 when Flight 93 would have hit Capitol Hill, and it was at 10:15 am on October 15 (10/15) that the anthrax attacks began on Capitol Hill. 915 represents scriptural verses from Genesis and Psalms that stand for trust and hope for me. The ending poem is a midrash, or a conversation, with Genesis 9:8-17 and the symbol of the rainbow is an example of God's covenant with humankind.
