Walls keep us safe and they keep us apart. Should we be thankful for them or fear them?
Walls are boundaries, but not all walls forbid. The walls of a cathedral, synagogue or mosque are meaningfully permeable. We are invited to pass through them. The antique churches that populate the villages and countryside always leave their doors unlocked, allowing the great stone walls to mutate from fortress to shelter by the push of a door.
They are walls nevertheless, there to form a curtain and a barrier behind which a different creed of people can be found. A wall always has two sides and two distinct concepts for the people on either side of it. Even the walls that constitute our homes lend our family and friends a sanctified aspect. Who we allow to cross into this space is a question of deep importance to us all.
