For the most part, I don't go to the site of Ground Zero in New York City. And hesitated showing these pictures to upset anyone. As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York, I love to show all the beauty of New York City and I do in many of my posts. This is only the second time I have been to this site because the energy, for me, is too strong. There is a sadness that permeates the very air-and I have to go somewhere after to allow it to dissipate.
This was the site where the Twin Towers stood. There is so much construction there you cannot get anywhere near it....the memorials on the fences are gone and have been moved into the tiny church directly across the street that survived the attacks.
When I think of that time of course there is a great sadness but also a reemergence of New York City which banded together like I have never seen before. Everyone was equal....race, religion, nothing mattered as we all came together to help each other. Of course it spread to Long Island and beyond.
I remember our bravest but also the "ordinary" citizens who could have stayed away but volunteered to help in any way they can. People were nicer, more courteous and friendly and we thought of EACH OTHER. A cab driver told us the first time we went down that "Ground Zero" was now New York City's number one tourist attraction; I'd hate to think that was true.
This is the trunk of an old oak tree...the top blown away. They found the trunk intact and preserved it.
If it is, then we should also never forget the kindnesses we can pass along every single day.....and wish we had stayed bonded, all of us together just as we had united then. There are many pictures in this post and the next and some are sad indeed. But I can't show Manhattan without showing ALL of it, the beauty and pleasure and the sadness of what this great City endured.
Sacred Ground
