The building I work in is just north of the World Trade Center site; the 
south end would open onto the construction site of 7 WTC, if we were allowed. 
 I've been back there since early May.

We spent many months working in an alternate location; poinsettias brought in 
at Xmas didn't all survive.  In march I brought in some seeds from home and 
planted them in one of the empty pots.  I thought they were cayenne, but 
since they are giving fruit point up, I'd go more with one of the Thai 
variants.

The pot is in a southern window overlooking the WTC site, and has 9 chile 
peppers on it.  When I arrived at work this Monday, I found that over the 
weeknd, several green peppers had ripened to a brilliant joyous red.  

I gave one away to a newcomer to the world of chiles, with the requirement 
that he save and plant some of the seeds. <g>

It cheers me simply to know that at that site of so much destruction and now 
such emptiness, ripe chile peppers watch over it all, reaching up, pointed up 
like the towers, so beautiful and shining.
