Feature: Weeping wall? healing wall? binding post-election wounds mission still hard job

Is it a weeping wall or a healing wall? Whatever you call it.

Thousands of New Yorkers, who voted heavily in favor of Democrat Hillary Clinton, have poured out their thoughts on pastel notes and posted them on the tiles of the Union Square subway station in the Manhattan borough of New York City.

Over two weeks after Trump's surprise win over Clinton, a number of New Yorkers have been unable to recover from their grief and anxiety.

Many points to Trump's often heated rhetoric over immigration and climate changes during the campaign:

"Build Bridges, not walls, love 4 one another."

"Proud to be a woman, love love love."

"There is unity in diversity. There is strength in diversity. There is hope in diversity."

"There's an I in EQUALITY. There is also a U."

"The American dream is big enough for everyone! For people of all races and religion, for men and women, for immigrants, for LGBT people, and people with disabilities" ...

A lot more are written in more conciliatory,soothing and positive approaches.

"Accept it!"

"Respect! Give Trump a chance. Do not say you never needed a change in life. Be positive. Love America!"

"Choose love!"

"Love, not hate, will set you free."

"Peace! We are not against Trump, we are against one another. We need to stand together."

"Come on America, you can do better."

There are quite a few read quite combative and resilient too.

"Don't let you grief intimidate you, don't let your anger turn you into someone you desire, listen to each other, to everyone, and prepare for 2020, especially 2018 because midterms make a difference."

The project, dubbed the Therapy Subway Wall, was initiated by local artist Matthew Chavez, 28, known as Levee, right after the election day.

"Subway Therapy is about making people smile, laugh, and feel less stress," Chavez writes on his website. "If someone wants to get something off their chest or has a burning question, I'm happy to be there for them. I believe that people grow and learn through dynamic conversation."

Manhattan and much of New York City was a presidential stronghold for Clinton. The former secretary of state's loss made many of her supporters very emotional. Many of them took to the streets of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,Los Angeles and many other cities to voice their concerns after the election.

"It's good to have such a place for people to vent out their anger and fear, to express love and hope, or to have a somber moment for a while," said a middle-aged man without giving his name.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has also joined in subway therapy.

"New York State holds the torch high! - Andrew C," Cuomo's note said.

The note went on to quote part of "The New Colossus," the sonnet by Emma Lazarus that is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," the poem goes. "I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Enditem
