At 4am on the morning of September 12th, 2001, after seeing on TV (the day before) the second plane come around the back of and explode into the World Trade Center building, Linda created a new piece of art in a 30" by 40" frame. Later on the 12th, Linda asked permission to remove several photographs and a 20" by 24" piece of writing that were on exhibit in a long hallway leading from the parking lot into the Cape Cod 5 Bank in Orleans, MA and replace them with this 'new' piece of 'writing'. The new piece of art shared two thoughts: One is a question Linda wrote at the beginning of a Provincetown Poetry Festival 'master class' writing exercise:
The other shares about the French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin who created the word 'noosphere' to describe the layer of thought that hovers above nature and acts as a universal consciousness . . . a 'thinking envelope' that our thoughts go up to and then are reflected back. ...
Included in this piece of art … Incrementally I believe this is a 'Formula for WORLD PEACE '. |
