It has been 20 years since that fateful day that has come to be known around the world simply by the date: 9/11.
Sociologists and social scientists often debate whether what happened represented a kind of "loss of innocence," or was there something else.
The White Light Express organization was founded very shortly after 9/11... a time when the world desperately needed healing and direction.
As a minister and student of the human condition, I often speculate on whether or not we learned anything from this tragic event? Have we — as a species — really changed, in the last 20 years?
Aside from travel being a lot more involved than it used to be, and you can no longer go meet loved ones at the gate when they exit the airplane... what else has changed?
Have we become kinder and more compassionate? Have we learned to appreciate our lives more, and be more conscious of the fact that everything can change very suddenly?
20 years is a significant anniversary because it represents — by many conventional measures — "a generation." There are young adults now who have never known a "pre-9/11 world."
We still screen people very closely at airports... and we take it in stride, but are we at risk of forgetting why we are being screened like that?
A friend of mine was booked on the flight from Boston to Los Angeles, but ended up canceling at the last moment because her mother was unwell and needed her immediate assistance. That ended up saving her life. Many people have personal stories that somehow connect them to the 9/11 incident.
Here at our place we will just be spending the day in quiet remembrance, praying that such an event will never happen again!
Thanks for stopping by, and Bright Blessings to all!
