Yes, I've blogged on Sarah MacLachlan's "World on Fire" music video before, but it seems time for a reprise. I can't watch this vid w/o tearing up, it always makes me feel like I must do more to alleviate suffering, as I realize the impact that a few dollars can have. To bring water, health, nourishment and joy to others. Money that I would not even miss. [Thanks to John, for first sharing this with me]
I am reading a book that is making me feel all raw and angry and committed to making change. I will blog more about it soon, but in the meantime, if you're looking for a read that will change your life, pick up a copy of Disposable People.

C'est moi
I was raised Mormon, but now I'm a hippie Quaker living in the OC with my two teenage kids: CatGirl & GameBoy.
Twenty-six years ago I lost my right leg to bone cancer. Awhile ago I had an antibiotic-resistant infection in my lower left leg, and now I'm healing from surgery and feeling better every day.
I like gardening, making history, outrigger canoeing, trying new things, and my afternoon cup of tea.

Awesome video! It has inspired me to do greater things in the world.
Thanks for pointing out this video. I'd never seen it before, but I've always loved Sarah, especially her early albums.
Also enjoyed the Dave Matthews "Gravedigger" video that John points out at his link.
If I might add one of my own favorites to this "9/11 Video Tribute" thread, let me point you to Bright Eyes' "First Day of My Life", one of my all-time favorite songs, and an equally worthy video. It is more "happy-poignant" than "sad-poignant" (like the McLachlan and Matthews videos), but it is a gentle reminder on a day like today of what is really important.
You can find it a www.youtube.com
thanks for sharing this video! i just discovered sarah mclachlan's music a few weeks ago, but i've become a fan. and i just discovered your blog yesterday (although your name is familiar to me from mormon feminist circles), and i think i'm going to be a fan of pilgrimgirl too.

So nice to have you aboard! Glad to know that you're developing a fondness for Sarah. She gets a lot of play at the pilgrim household :)
