Following the attacks on September 11, many people have looked to art, in all its forms, for consolation.
Did any piece of art help comfort you following the attacks?

Jean Holabird of Cambridge painted "10-3 - Murrary and Greenwich, 3 p.m.," a watercolor scene from Ground Zero. Many artists responded visually to the September 11 attacks.

I'm over on the other side where life and death softly divide
I left my skin and bones behind now I'm over on the other side
Can you feel me there with you?
My breath is gone but I'm not through
I loved you then and I still do from over on the other side
I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Tell 'am all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side
It's good here on the other side
The sweetest songs, the bluest skies
Thank you for the tears you cried, but it's good here on the other side
I can fly
The world is smaller than a needle's eye
Where life and death softly divide
When you leave your skin and bones behind I'll be waiting on the other side
I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Go tell 'em all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side
The song, from the album "Paradox of Grace," was submitted Don Ackerman and Jean Detrick, Norwood.
