This blog just got very interesting.
It might be more interesting to pay more attention to the comments posted on this site in the future.
Today is my birthday and perhaps today I am born again, not in the traditional sense. Mine is an awakening of sorts, if I can hang on and start paying attention.
I’m listening Jeanne.
This spiritual advisor of mine made herself known to me recently, not that I believe in such things, being a born and bred backslider Christian, but that old time religion of mine did not prepare me for a real woman who told me she and I had a mission and this website would be our deliverance. Use this blog to enlighten a blighted world of the real significance of the Freedom Tower, she told me. This was her comment yesterday:
“The unidentified souls do speak to us. Dawn nears as a spiritual breeze gently awakens the psyche of America.” She is talking about the Freedom Tower.
I listened, but I’m not feeling it yet.
The news on this site is that New skyscrapers are planned to go up at the World Trade Center beginning in January, according to developer Larry Silverstein. A third building will be built in July, according to the New York Observer.
Silverstein holds the lease at the “job site” and will oversee the construction. The Freedom Tower lease is not owned by Silverstein.
Silverstein purchased the lease for the twin towers six weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks. He took over reconstruction of the 16 acre site and agreed to build more than 6 million square feet of office space at the site.
NEW YORK - Two new skyscrapers will start to rise at the World Trade Center site in January, according to developer Larry Silverstein, who holds the lease there and is overseeing construction.
As usual, I’m still in the dark on this one too. Three more buildings, monuments to high rents, world trade and a global economy.
Where have all the sprits gone?

Deliverance…
Where have all the spirits gone? Nowhere! Just as one practicing a strong faith does not have to spend his/her entire life inside the walls of a consecrated building, the essence of humanity does not exist primarily in old, obsolete structures.
Of course, there will be other buildings constructed around the new World Trade Center and the Freedom Tower. The mere fact that builders have taken the risk to begin new projects nearby is indication that this is, indeed, prime real estate.
In their rise to glory, these new buildings will accompany the Freedom Tower and all that it will represent. Yes, this is the beginning of an age whereby human potential can grow with the insight of diminished consciousness, thus providing the nexus point for enlightenment and renewal.
In his poem, “The Ovenbird,” Robert Frost said it best:
The bird would sing and be as other birds,
But that he knows in singing not to sing.
The question that he frames in all but words
is what to make of a diminished thing.
Happy Birthday, Oh ye of little faith!
