" i don't have a friend who feels at ease"
-- An American Tune Paul Simon (referenced in an essay written by my Art and Therapy professor Larry Schor)
" ... for me it is still living and dying and shaped and shaping every day." Larry Schor on his experience at ground zero in 2001
"There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
There's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
There's a silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken"
-- Pink Floyd
"Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
i can't even remember what it was
I came here to ge away from
Don't even hear a murmur of prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there".
--Bob Dylan
All of these quotes came from the essay that my professor, Dr. Larry Schor wrote about his experience during and after his time at ground zero in 2001 entitled What help have I to Give? A therapist's journey to Ground Zero. It's stuck with me and i'm still trying to find a way to use his experiences to write a poem because he paints such an elaborate picture of his experience and his observations of others. I was thinking that i could use the terminology from the carpentry that i found as well as some of the terminology that i know form crocheting to write something about 9/11.
