There is something about the changing colors, the smell of  damp fallen leaves and fermenting earth that pulls me outdoors. I love walking in the forest or working in the garden at this time. There is also something about  the changes in this season that inspire changes in me. Although write all year round, Autumn is one of my most creative and productive seasons. I often experiment with a new style or  project, something I have never attempted before. </div> <bR> <div> Sadly this Autumn is unlike any other before, as the events of the September 11th tragedy are weighing upon us all. I am deeply saddened not only but the great loss but  also in knowing that human beings can commit such atrocious acts upon each other. My heart goes out to all the   families and friends of victims,  rescue workers and everyone out there who is helping  us to recover, and also to the  innocent Muslims all over the wold who do  not support  the terrorist actions, but are being made victims because of their religion.</div> <bR> <div> Please do not judge Islam by the corrupt tenets of a minority of  Muslims, and please continue to support the recovery cause.</div> <bR> <bR> <div>  <div align=center> <a href="http://www.coffeecup.com/attack/donate/"> <img src="http://www.coffeecup.com/wtc_support1.gif" width="468" height="60" border="1" alt="Donate"></a><br> </div>  </div> <bR> <bR> <div>  This issue we meet some new members and welcome back some familiar faces.
