On my spring trip to New York, I made a point to visit the 9/11 Memorial and this space, The Oculus.
A visit to this space is conflicting, as it is a beautiful , thoughtful design in memoriam; yet, it is still so devastating to think of all those lost as a result of that historic attack.
I do not believe I will ever understand why some individuals choose violence over learning and understanding. Let’s have more open conversations and support each other instead of tearing one another down.
Many of us possess an open, curious mind and heart, but so many keep themselves closed off to the possibilities of embracing the joy of their individuality, and that individuality in others.
It’s our differences that make us wonderfully unique.
As we remember and reflect on the past, (and the present!)…
What we can do to create and curate a better future, for oursevles and the next generations?
