I came to the odd realization last week visiting New York City that I had yet to visit either Ground Zero or Times Square in all my time visiting in the last 7 years. I saw both this past week and neither could be farther apart in essence. Times square is the happy bustle of life while Groundzero reflects an epoch of sadness and yet they are separated by only a few score of blocks. It's easy to put that monumental day of grief behind the flashing neon signs and LCD screens and forget, but the scar in that infamous ground in Manhattan's downtown allows not a wink of that same bliss.
