Dearest Mags! Here's a thought ..... I think music should be incorporated into the memorial. I'm not sure how. We are a complex world and do not live by sight alone (hence this list! :-) Maybe there should be some interactive process with the memorial and the Tears of A Thousand Years CD would be a form of world contribution. Thanks for lighting up ideas :-)
