	<description><![CDATA[It's hard to believe that 21 years ago, the Wall Erich Honecker was in charge of building, said, as late as January 1989 that it would last 50 or even 100 years if conditions "that led to it's erection" didn't change."  The irony was that conditions in the GDR had changed and forced authorities to open the border without a shot being fired.  As I read Millay Hyatt's wonderfully written essay on "walking the wall," two things came to mind: First, after having travelled into East Germany for over 10 years between 1978-88, I was struck, when driving from Nuernberg to Berlin in 2003, that there was no indication of a divided Germany and had one not earlier experienced the guard towers and border crossing along the "Transitstrecke" you would have thought it had always been this peaceful; second, having viewed the Brandenberg Gate from behind the barricades and in clear view of armed GDR border guards and their German shepherds, I was overwhelmed with emotions on seeing Berliners ride their bicycles through the Gate as if it was the most natural thing to do.  What was earlier impregnable, was now open to all.  Millay Hyatt's account reminds us of those days but also calls us to a renewed viligance to cultivate, guard and keep the earth with which we've been entrusted.  This was a thoughtful journey in to the past and a reminder and a challenge for the future. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[what an amazing trek, like the PCH or Appalachian Trail for Europeans. My daily bike ride crisscrosses the wall. It still reminds me of broken families, black market goods and espionage. <br />

	<description><![CDATA[My favorite remnant of the Berlin Wall must be the Death Strip Aldi. Has anyone written about the unusual number of discount shops nestled where the barbed wire would run? & yes, that swathe of cherry trees sends a shiver through me each spring.]]></description>
