The symbolism of the twin beams of light as they thrust skyward from the site of the once majestic twin towers in New York is obvious to all who see them. The first time I saw those twin lights on my TV screen, I thought... damn!!! What a wonderful tribute, what a magnificent way to celebrate and remember the lives of the nearly three thousand souls who dies there on 09/11. As their family and friends know, these lights carry a very deep heart-warming message of both encouragement and defiance that is far beyond the power of any of our well meaning attempts to comfort them. But there is more to it than that.
Look again at these Twin Tower lights. Notice this as I do... American placed them there. Americans turned them on. And, in addition, Americans aimed them toward the heavens where God, who is the source of our strength, lives.
We need to remember and reflect on the fact that terrorism can only live in darkness. Light destroys darkness. Obviously, these awesome lights of these Twin Towers symbolize America's determination to destroy terrorism's darkness with light... so everywhere people have the hope of living in peace and freedom.
