Another brick in “The WALL

this top 10 post is about walls and as it is highlighted there are a couple of things I would like to add. There are so many messages in the media and in our communities that encourage us to build walls not bridges and so in this holiday season I would encourage everyone to consider the following questions

As you are likely to be doing some family visiting this holiday season what is one question that you would like to ask anyone or your entire family?
Think of any three people you would like and imagine or write down five things values etc. you believes you have in common with these people.  Now to pick two people that you wish had these things in common with you or the group of people you were thinking about

Finally what skills or talents do you have personally that would help either you or someone you care for build bridges with other people not walls?

OK enjoy this top 10 for 2019



These days we hear  a lot of talk about  "the Wall."

If  you want to you can link to FoxNews--CNN, or MSNBC  some links below and get a ready-made opinion  of this topic.












Fortunately, this is not the wall I'm talking  about....because there are enough  people talking about that already

I'm also  not talking  about  Pink Floyd's "quasi-experimental"  album (The Wall  and the stunning movie adaptation.)

So what Wall?

Well I thought  about the great wall of China because that is one impressive wall and it was built a long time ago and  we in the "west" don't  know much about it except what we might  learn  with regard to how ancient alien astronauts  might have had a hand in it (just kidding)


I'm talking  about the walls  that this debate about some border structure  are  building  between  people who  otherwise believe  in a lot of the same things and for  some of the same reasons.

We all want  a safe place to live and to feel like  things  are fair.
We  as humans  all like some sense that we can have a space of our  own if we need it for a while.

we  are as  human beings  built to  be hyper aware of new and strange  situations including the looks of people. These are realities.
Let's all admit that.... and move ahead.


WhatI guess I'm questioning is why we have to make this  yet another  either or issue for our country and the world are we?


Building a Wall of Duality  that urges us to characterize  ourselves as one of our many  facets?  If so  please don't make it aawall.... I want to be sorted  out by the curve of my left ear.  Should I start a Facebook group?

Seriously... if we are to achieve peace and joy  in this  existence let's breathe and avoid  a forced  extreme and two-sided choice— a wall inside.

 There have always been walls there will always be walls but let’s think about them differently here’s a little song about  walls it is a one take wonder it will be better when I work on it a while but so will humanity (mine).  LOL
