"I used to try to punch my way through people’s walls.
I didn’t understand that they were there for a reason and often essential to
their survival. I did the same with my own walls. Neither got me anywhere. The
walls just got tougher, denser, more resilient. Now I have a different
approach. I pray to walls. I honor their wisdom. I stroke them with kindness. I
melt them with gentleness. And, if they still insist on standing firm, I leave
them be. Walls have a time frame all their own."
