'...weeping for her century...'

...is how William Gibson describes his character, Cayce, near the end of Pattern Recognition. "...whether the one past or the one present, she doesn't know."

Read Kevin Sites' blog today, about the news footage he shot in Falluja, the killing in the Mosque.

How to reconcile that with the quiet park across the street, the glowing yellow leaves on the trees, or even something as small and warm as my cat sleeping, curled up, across the room?
