Took a walk through Central Park before meeting my friend for Friday's Vigils |

|
|
Central Park is just as gorgeous as ever...as if nothing
had ever happened...how so many of us wish that were true

I went on down to 34th St since that was the farthest the trains would get me...from there I walked my usual trek through the city...some 10+ miles? Here's what I saw... |

A worker holds up our Flag
at 14th/7th where people aren't allowed through
|
Volunteers at the Salvation
Army on 14th

|
The street in front of FIT
is sectioned off due to a bomb scare
|
I finally get past below 14th,
but the silence is eerie...no planes overhead...no cars
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Standing on Houston St...you
can see how thick with smoke the air is down below

A woman who'd just ridden
up from SoHo...wears a mask as protection

|
|
|
An army of trucks stand waiting and ready on Houston
St.
|
One of many yellow ribbons
at Union Square Park
|
The Memorial Quilt is signed
by many while students make collections...hundreds were there

Right it won't but,...
|
a young woman leaves her message
|
speaks for itself...
|
|
|
It was heart wrenching to
be there...to leave my mark...but it was comforting to be amongst all
my brothers and sisters who were hurting just as much as I was...Special
thanks to the students of NYU!...and all others who've given of themselves...
