Never forget

Standing in Jersey City, on 9/11/2017, as the sun begins to fade over lower Manhattan. Nothing can prepare you for this view. It takes your breath away. I sat and thought about the many lives lost just 16 years earlier, but then thought this must be their Heaven. Quiet, still, shadows, sunlight, contrast, beauty. Magnificent.
