In the lower right hand corner of the image above is a blow up of a shard of glass between two grave stones. Where did it come from... How did it get there... Why hasn't it been picked up...This image was captured in the grave yard of St. Paul's Chapel on Church Street in New York City. It is the chapel where all the tributes were laid after September 11, 2001. You can read more about the church in A Rock In A Weary Land post. What is interesting is that it took two years to clean up all the debris from the towers and surrounding buildings. Yet here is a shard of glass that remains. Could it be a remanence of one of the towers... Possibly. I would like to think so and that it remains as a reminder of the reality of that moment in our nations history.
As time goes on we all need to be reminded of the freedoms we have in this land that we all to often take for granted. Thank a fireman, policeman, and especially a serviceman when you pass one for giving of their selves so that we may continue to enjoy our way of life.
Take care all... Doug
