Over the weekend I messed around in my Mess book.....threw some paint at it
got some angst out...all in FUN of course
THEN
I came to the above page.....following the instructions I pulled out an old TIME magizine and what do I find on page 32?
A picture of the Berlin Wall. Rather troubling....they are not tearing down the Berlin Wall. This is a picture of people building the Berlin wall.
I am supposed to make as many connections as possible with myself and this picture.
Hmmmm....
This is what I got:
People are working hard (I work hard)
Their work will eventually be destroyed (in time so will mine)
They are building a wall ( at times I put walls up no doubt)....although I don't want to admit that.
Wish the picture would've been of them tearing down the wall....
I would've liked that better.
I was talking about the Berlin Wall at the weekend funnily enough. How I was so surprised at the speed at which the iron curtain came down. I always thought that something like that would take decades of slow change, but suddenly BANG! there it was gone... I truly was a momentous time.

Well, Gemma, they are making a mess, so there's another link to you. I haven't seen this page, so must look for it. The problem with this Book Group is that everybody posts such interesting pages I keep thinking, oh I'll do that next and the list gets longer and longer .......
ReplyDeletewow - you got a really tough photo, but I love the way you were able to find connections anyway. I agree with Jez - everybody's post is the page I want to do next! -Karen
