Images and expressions : wall of greatness

Today I read an article about building the Wall Of Greatness. It’s actually an idea suggested by a ghanian leader Janet Adu whose wisdom guided through journeys of discovery in several gatherings

In one of her gatherings she asked her members to bring in a single object that symbolised what to do for peace, and give reasons why.

A peacebuilder brought in a map of his country – “We have never known peace since independence.” Another showed a photo of his baby niece. A third brought a camelskin purse to stand for the safe places she creates for women. A fourth lit a candle to light the dark of war.

There was silence and Janet said, “This is the wall we are building across the world.”

I thought of that and wished there were more leaders like that in the world, indeed the world would be a better place.
