Tribulations experienced on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001 will leave an indelible mark on the enclaves of history. Twenty years later, a marked resilience & solidarity burgeons within the people: the commitment to remembrance. We memorialize the lives & legacies of those who intrepidly fought to save lives threatened by the virulence of terror.
34 “I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” —John 13: 34, 35 (NWTSE) We strive to rid this world of the stain of hate. Though much remains unseen, I have full certitude our efforts will not be in vain.
By Providence, I have full credence that our prayers, solemn petitions, and our arduous efforts will bear fruitage. We will see the day when the frivolity of warfare & fecklessness of schism are undone. Love always wins.
11 “I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.” —Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NWTSE) On this day, I implore you to use this time for introspection, reflection, retrospection, & circumspection. Use this day as a means of taking inventory. The morrow is ne'er guaranteed. Therefore, ask yourselves if you’re using your time on the Earthly Plane to cultivate a lasting legacy.
For all eternity, let love & peace reign. From sea to shining sea, let the obsidian of hate be vanquished. From the Gaian Epidermis of the Terraqueous Matriarch, let watery woe cease.
Ever onward, comrades & comradettes. Moreover, may you effloresce in The Aeonic Light of The Empyrean One. —Se’ lah.
