It has been a somber day acorss our nation and perhaps around the world, as we recall the raw emotion we all felt that day when we heard the news and could see on the faces of our brothers and sisters affected by such unbelievable and unexpected acts of terrorism against innocents. It us amazing how that day has impacted us all as we have hurt for one another.
You have a thoughtful heart and intuitive eye which captures powerful messages…very nicely done!
Leah,
Thank you so much for the kind words. This day always brings with it a mixed bag of emotions. I thought it important to not only give voice to the tragedy of the day, but also the vibrant life and authenticity that NYC produces so effortlessly. In Remembrance & Celebration of a city so close to our heart.
