In the recent days I've been reflecting on life, as I often do, and the passage of time. I know that sounds heavy, but it always blows me away to think how fast time goes. 9-11-01 was ten years ago. TEN! Where did that time go? I was watching some online videos and coverage of the 10th anniversary preparations and was very moved by the unveiling of the memorial park at the Trade Center Site. It is slated to be revealed to families of the victims on 9-11-11.
I found this article online that goes into detail about the park and its design. I am adding a visit to this site to my bucket list. I was there on the first day they re-opened the PATH train from New Jersey to WTC. Coming out of the tunnel, seeing the sunlight, and then the total devastation of the area from below was something I'll never forget. I hope we all can make peace in our minds by visiting and reflecting... 10 years goes so fast, but the memory of that day is frozen in time.
