*Walls* require maintaining

In ancient times, as men were learning to build large structures,
                   It was discovered that you must protect the top of the wall,
for
If water got in to the top,
                                                 It would seep down into the wall.
If that happened and it froze, the wall could crumble,
                    it would also deteriorate the
          Mortar.

Walls are like that.
                                      When we build walls around ourselves,
Walls that separate
                   Us from one another,
                                       Walls of LIES,                     or of vanity or puffed up
                                                                                EGOS…
these walls must be protected and constantly
                                                                                            Maintained, or
They will break down in the light of truth and

Love.

The worst walls
Are the lies that we tell ourselves,
The lie that we are not good enough,
pretty enough, smart enough, nor deserving
To be loved.
THAT is a wall with spikes along the top, to keep us from
Escaping our own prison.
 
Do whatever you must;
Break down your walls!
If nothing else,

Stop maintaining them,

and they will crumble under
Their own weight.
Love will break down walls.
