Remembering 9/11

This is the view from my living room. The vertical lights represent the Twin Towers. I’ve lived here, in this apartment in downtown New York City, since 2000. On September 11th, 2001, I didn’t notice that one of the towers was on fire until I was walking down Grand Street, a few blocks from my house, on my way to work. Later that day, from Canal Street, I saw the second tower fall with my own eyes. I wanted to write something earlier, but couldn’t find words. I hope everyone who died is at peace. I hope there is justice for the victims, survivors and for all who lost someone.
