I appreciate your contextualization. As we (the collective "We") hear about tragic events, they largely go uncontextualized as the news cycle churns to the next tragedy. I don't live in or near DC. The experiences of communities there are going to be different than where I am. It's so easy to have thoughts about an experience that happens only on paper to those of us who don't live there.
Thanks Karen. The cognitive dissonance of going about my day today as a crane on a boat is literally dredging the plane out of the river, outside my window, is really something. To say nothing of what it must feel like to be sitting in a plane on the runway looking out at that.
That sounds horrific. It's easy to reference the gravity of a situation. It's something else altogether to feel its pull when it becomes your everyday reality. 😔
Good work capturing a largely hidden moment - probably one of many - but that is part of what art is
