All The Same

What We Hear

On a recent vacation we had the opportunity to visit the Tower of Voices memorial of flight 93 in PA. Standing 93 ft tall with 40 perfectly balanced chimes representing the lives of crew and passengers, even the slightest breeze creates a beautiful array of sounds allowing all to hear the voices that hate failed to silence. They live on with every puff of air, continuing to tell their story.

Her father had just walked in from work and seeing her upset gently approached her and asked what the matter was. This is where things got fun.
