Mauerspaziergang- Walk along the Wall 29.05.07







The rain kept coming down today. The clouds refused to stay away. This was Mauerspaziergang day. Heavy clouds looming overhead filled my heart with so much dread. A house divided can not stand, a wise man once said. Capricious and fickle, they waved the hammer and sickle. The other two flew, and of course, the red, white and blue. Mr. Hollywood came from afar and remarked that "Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.” Ist es doch wahr? Walls made of concrete in tight physical spaces intruded onto private mental spaces. A totalitarian force obscured people's faces. Political aggression or moral transgression?"If you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Open this gate!"
