biking home from work tonight i ran into the human representation of the berlin wall.
it was raining heavily.
they were blocking traffic.
standing shoulder to shoulder.
it was one of the most powerful things i've ever seen.
i couldnt go through the wall. so i joined them for a while.
i eventually went home, put on the kettle, vacuumed, and tore my room apart looking for my passport.
i keep thinking about how scared and over-whelmed i was when approaching the wall.
and the confused glee i felt when i saw how confused and angry the cars were who couldnt get through.
i realized that 20 years ago i wouldnt have been able to get home from work if this wall were the case. and that some of my best friends and i would have never seen each other.
happy mauer (wall) fall.
