WALLS

“Man is a great wall builder

The Berlin Wall

The Wailing Wall of Jerusalem

But the wall most impregnable

Has a moat

flowing with fright

around his heart

A wall without windows for the spirit to breeze through

without a door for love to walk in.”

- OSWALD MTSHALI, Soweto (South African) poet

from the compelling book, ‘My Traitor’s Heart’ by Rian Malan

"Let us tear down the walls of our hearts in order to tear down the walls of concrete"

Tags (key words) Middle East, freedom, democracy, walls, building bridges of reconciliation, peace, pursuit of peace

"There is neither east nor west, tribe nor ethnicity, male or female, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist. Christian nor Jew. There is only a God-filled humanity."

"Let each one of us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace. Let our leaders look at the future with a vision - to see things not as they are, but what they could one day become."

"Instead of the limits of borders (of countries and of our minds) let us and our leaders expand our sense of possibility... and together let's look at building bridges to distant horizons, far and great. Lord, help us all lift our eyes a little higher."

Submitter’s Note:

Just had the idea for this e-book today

29th Dec 2011 (NZ), so better start collecting material, then start writing

Publish BEFORE writing the book

Crazy ...or WHAT!

So as my dear mother used to say...

Time to ‘get crakin’ or ‘weaving’

“totally impulsive” craig (as usual) just trying to get a simple message to the world

Build Bridges of Reconciliation

"Together, one mind, one soul, one life at a time, let's march together to a better and brighter future"
