Ground Zero... ...yesterday in the rain. I wondered as I wandered why, after so long, there wasn't even a small meditation garden or something. Someplace where you can get away from peddlers and commuters and gawkers. Instead you walk around and around the observation fence, able to hear but not see construction work at the site, glancing at a random collection of signs and images along the fence, dodging high school journalism students who want to interview you about how you feel... I realize the monumental importance of doing the memorial park and the new tower right; it's okay that the project is taking ages. But it wouldn't be difficult to put a plaque somewhere and grow grasses around it to set it off from the streetscape. |
