Breaking Walls!


Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

~Mending Wall by Robert Frost


Todays marks 17 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November, 1989. In the 50's and sixties, humankind felt the world was doomed for a nuclear showdown. Peace reigned and walls fell and the world was normal again.


Yesterday, another wall fell as US voters felt the world was going back to the Cold War era! Walls are made but they are bound to be broken! Peace was given another shot in the arm yesterday.

“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.”
~ A. J. Muste
