In This episode we have a conversation with a decorated firefighter /EMT whose career of saving people's lives came to a culmination atop a pile of rubble at Ground Zero on 9/11, when he was seven stories up helping take apart that pile of rubble piece by piece, by hand. He stopped to rest and sat down and when he looked down the street, all he saw was the gray cement color over everything: the buildings, the windows, the street, the cars, he saw nothing but a big corridor of gray. He paused and looked to the left to see clear perfect blue sky. He looked right and again saw clear perfect blue sky, he looked above him and saw clear perfect blue sky. He then looked back down the gray corridor and said to himself “I just walked through the valley of death.” He again looked up and prayed that nothing fell on top of him, or his colleagues, and that they make it home alive.
