Ten Years Later....

Six years after 9/11 I had posted my thoughts at the time. Most of what I wrote about still remains part of my memories and thoughts from that day.

However, today I feel a sadness for the fact that more war and hatred grew from that day. I say it is time we truly honor those that lost their lives, by creating more peace and love in the world.

The peace symbol above turned 50 years old on February 21st. It first appeared in protests organized by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War and was later used as the logo for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Gerald Holtom who is credited with creating this image, said this about its creation "I was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya’s peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle round it." -- Source: Wikipedia
