Innocence.
As children we are taught the concept of right and wrong, values beyond, we often cannot grasp. Running on the open fresh cut yard, historical events are being made. Unable to understand the outside world, we continue to run.
However one day, when we finally understand that there is more to life than our back yards, we realize that the world isn’t as perfect as we thought. We are able to learn and to adapt, and hope that one day the world will become a better place for our children. Moving forward, we learn from our mistakes, appreciate those that we have lost and do what we can to share our knowledge.
On November 9 1989 marked the fall of the Berlin Wall. Not only was it the end of East German’s communist regime, but the beginning of something new, freedom.In 1992, the city of Berlin gave a segment of the Berlin wall to the city of Montreal for its 350th birthday. Today it stands on display in the Centre de Commerce mondial de Montréal. Many Montréalers do not realize that a piece of history is in our reach. When you plan to take a walk to Old Montreal, take the time to visit. An information panel is mounted discussing the events of the Berlin wall. When you do visit, you will be happy that you had a chance to experience history.
No longer running in the open fields, I take time to appreciate history.
