The ultimate time capsule. Provides me the comfort I need to cope with the crazy state of the contemporary world. How I long to walk around NYC at a time where the WTC was just an incidental part of the city’s backdrop and 9/11 was a fanciful conceit for a disaster movie. Bring me back to dreams of the future from the locus of peace, simplicity, and happiness that was the launching pad for exciting things to come. Sometimes these time-capsules allow us to reconnect with a structure of feeling that afforded these exciting visions of the future.
9/11 dismantled our collective spirit more than we dare admit.
