A decade in the making, the memorial plaza and reflecting pools will be ready to honor the victims of 9/11 on tomorrow's tenth anniversary. For some time now the buzz has been whether or not the construction will be ready in time for the remembrance. Indeed the portions that are in place will provide a very fitting and respectful venue. The museum will open in 2012, the tower that will be "One World Trade" is two years from completion and the entire site has been a perpetual construction project for ten years.... Maybe, just maybe its all about the
building. The metaphor for healing, coming together and moving forward could just be in the construction. After-all, much of our history and our pride is displayed in structural icons that demonstrate a purpose in building a nation.
Just a thought for this weekend of reflection.....
