A Time To Remember

In the late 60s I lived in New Jersey. I painted the New York skyline with the brand new World Trade Center Towers - so impressive a sight. But then I framed the view with flames. Premonition?

Today we remember ---

the victims,

the perpetrators,

the heroes,

the trauma of that day

and its aftermath.

It's hard to forget,

even harder to forgive,

but that is what will heal.

For as little as we can do

to right the injustice,

God alone knows every heart,

and God alone can heal

the wounds and mete out karma.

What goes around, comes around.

Be vigilant,

practice compassion,

practice forgiveness,

move on.
