Thin Places, Thick Places (Series)
Day 24
Never forget.
This day in Berlin had some thin place moments.
Holocaust Memorial. The physical structure is haunting and profound. It's truly spiritual to be in the middle of a city where the world changed only 70 years ago.
Berlin is a fascinating city. We happen to be staying in what was formerly East Berlin. It's artistic, young, vibrant, and colorful, a big contrast from what it was before.
Ms. A, Miss I, Agent Shades and I have gotten familiar with a decent radius around our Airbnb, which has resulted in walking about 30 miles in two days. Ouch.
We visited the Berlin Wall panorama. Wow. Just wow. Standing in front of the enormous photograph that depicted life at the wall, both on the Eastern and Western sides, gutted me. I can't believe it was only (roughly) 30 years ago.
Powerful history. Rumblings of past voices with warnings for us, today. I'm listening.
To be continued...
