BOUNDARIES

Someday on this planet there will be an alternative paradigm to protecting borders.
In today's world,  borders are up for grabs. They are not as clearly defined.
They are inhabited my both sides.
Communication is a necessary element to observing a peaceful coexistence.
Whether it be Palestine and Israel, Mexico and the USA,  or my next door neighbors and myself, the crisis is evident.
Borders can be shared without loss of self identity or responsibility for the well being of those spaces.
Bombing is not the solution.
Walls are not the answer.
Mudslinging solves nothing.
Communicate. Communicate. Communicate.
Be gentle and solution oriented.  Not so easy in the Middle East or in the Southwestern USA.
But among neighbors, all it takes is respect and cooperation.
Is this so difficult?
Or perhaps the question is, "Why is this so difficult?"
