A member of my congregation sent me this picture of the USS New York. "Twenty-four tons of the steel used in its construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Center, with seven tons melted down and cast to form the ship's stem bar." - part of the ship's bow. The construction workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics - touching it as they walked by." The ships motto is "Never Forget!" Whilst one may question the whole war on terrorism, I found it a striking example of energy transference. It could be argued that the negative energy from 9/11 hasn't exactly been put to good use in the construction of a war ship, but at another level, one could see it as an appropriate way for workers to channel their anger into something constructive and for the demolition crews a positive way of dealing with tons of mangled steel. Anyhow it struck me quite powerfully and Adam Johnstone suggested that I post it as a blog. Geoff Deutscher Ulladulla
