I have visited, up close, and found to be beautifully serene) and a strange and eerie sensation came over me. The people, the cars and the work trucks all seemed to disappear before my eyes and were replaced by a vision of shattered glass scattered (on the surrounding streets and) where the Twin Towers once stood. And, although my eyes could see the evidence of renewal, I couldn’t shake the knot in the pit of my stomach and the dizzying feeling of the horror that once was.

But these Footprints (of what once was) in Lower Manhattan will forever leave their mark.
