Ah, YES, Creation in its cadence of care, in its bounty of beauty, in its gift of grace... so BE this day.
We Pause in Remembrance
Tears, heartache, shock, beyond all conceal
For the pain, the horrors, remain yet real
Time alone does not ease the grief, the pain
For the inward scars of loss long long remain.
Tales of responders, heroic be each deed
Humanity and care, held as a living creed.
In loving respect, in a faith the soulful heart does bear
And so skyward be our eyes to the embrace of heavenly care
The touch of GOD ever real
Supernal be the blessings of All we to feel
In this moment as Below as Above
Beheld we be by the embrace of Love
Our loved ones lost, be yet their dreams held true
Their legacy granted onto a me, onto a you
Let us this day imagine the dreams once real
That in our hearts we shan't conceal
What vision, what promises made, hankered in their soul
Let us in loving PRAISE honor their envisioned goal
And in praise, hear we the sounding call of each name
The dreams, the visions held, let us proclaim
In our hearts grant each their completed goals
PEACE onto our pulsing hearts and departed souls.
PEACE onto our pulsing hearts and departed souls.

A Review: Copilot:
The presentation titled “Remembrance 9/11 ~ 2024” by Rose Marie Raccioppi carries profound implications and messages. Here are some key points:
Overall, the presentation is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of 9/11, the importance of community and solidarity, and the power of faith and love in the healing process. It calls for a collective remembrance that honors the past while fostering hope and unity for the future.
Demons and daunting echoes, masks and veils of illusion and lies... You are NOT the totality of other's opinions, other's perceptions. other's limitations, YOU ARE PURE POTENTIAL.
