Within the first 4 posts are the memorials I propose for those who mourn and those who suffer from the losses caused by those who choose only to hate.

I waited to post it because the last post in the series contains a link to the most beautiful tribute video I've seen, which someone was kind enough to send to me some weeks ago. Unfortunately, all through 9/11/2002 it has been inaccessible, bringing up the note that the site owner's bandwidth has been exceeded, and to try again later.

I do hope you'll read through my memorials to that link, and if you can't reach it still, save the link to review it another day, when the traffic to the site has declined.

If you wish to respond to my series or to other posts that some may add here, I beg you to not make this a place of threats and sabre-rattling and flame.

Instead, let's make it a place of uplift and thoughtfulness and beauty. Contribute some good thoughts, a quote or poem perhaps, or maybe a link to art or music or some product of creativity, as a memorial to those who lost their lives a year ago.

After all, the Internet and its capacities represent the creative contributions of many citizens of the US. The capacity to record sound, the capacity to transmit sights that are long past: these, too, are American inventions.

This amazing medium permits us to communicate as never before, with citizens of every country on Earth. This, coupled with our capacity to record and transmit, means we can traverse space and transcend time. So let's use it here for the most beautiful purposes we can imagine.

Oh, and should any think I display too much hubris in claiming the contributions of Americans, please recognize that no exclusivity is intended. After all, it is the breadth of the origins of the citizens in our melting pot that I claim as our greatest strength. We are, indeed, the world.

As one other Renaissance Man, Benjamin Banneker, aked: "Ah, why will men forget that they are brethren?"
