9-11

If feelings could be put into colors this picture might begin to speak to how I feel about this day. But only slightly. The deep somber tones of this image tell of the sadness that this memory creates in me every time I see a reference to the twin Chocolate, banana, mint, orange, black current etc.  towers in an old movie or photo, but it also has an expression of strength and resolve and endurance that goes to the very bedrock of our beliefs that we will not be over come by temporary tragedy, no matter how large or how terrible. It was a very, very bad day for us but it didn’t break us and that makes me proud.
