Living downtown so close to the World Trade Center site means that we have this constant reminder of September 11. And we face it every day. Of course, we choose to face it in different ways. For me, I needed to go to the site and remember.

Standing and looking down into the pit that morning was beautiful and sacred and heart breaking. I stood at the fence surrounding the void and listened to the siblings of those who died read out the names of those they lost. I stood there in silence for a long time… we all stood there in silence for a long time…

That night, they lit the beacons of light that shone in 2002 in remembrance. I took this picture from the top of our apartment. I think that it was the most fitting tribute to the people who were in those towers.
