Thinking about…

… quite literally, the Berlin Wall did not fall.  It did not fall thirty-five years ago today.  It never fell.  The “fall of the Berlin Wall” is a literary device, not a historical event.

And that we have chosen a false image to stand for a moment of liberation reveals a problem.

We cannot change the world all at once.  But we can change the way we think.  We can clear away the clichés and make ourselves more lively.  We can work together and then, when other things are in motion, be ready to turn the change in the right direction.
