abstract="Responding to the request to write about our work at &quot;ground zero&quot; the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack has proved to be a challenging task. Challenging in that we have found it difficult to discuss and honor our experiences with mere words alone. Thus, this work has been &quot;in progress&quot; for a long period of time. Part of the challenge is reflected for us in the title of the article by the choice of the word &quot;grace.&quot; That is, writing about grace at ground zero does not fit comfortably with our scientist-practitioner training. In searching for words to describe our experiences, however, we tried out a number of alternatives to &quot;grace&quot; including luck, chance, coincidence, and serendipity. None of these alternatives quite captured our experiences and our sense that certain events may best be conceptualized as unsolicited &quot;gifts&quot; that facilitated our work at the WTC site.
