Labyrinth [a complicated irregular network of passages or paths in which it is difficult to find one's way; a maze]
I visited Ground Zero was last year and it was a full on building site. Seemed like there were more workers than tourists. I stopped to watch a group of workers return from their lunch break. All around me was scaffolding. I had limited view of the sky. It occurred to me that people don’t stare up at emptiness now. The energy has totally changed and we are all back to looking straight ahead. It’s not a clear road ahead. It is more like climbing out of a web. Nothing is as clear as it once was. The United States is in its longest war/s ever and its economy has been devastated. It is amazing too to see workers rebuilding
Ground Zero, creating new spaces and new futures.
