The wall stretched forever, as far as he could see. And he had to get through. She was on the other side. He pounded with his fists. He screamed and shouted; begged and pleaded. The wall was unyielding. He was in anguish. He cried, ripped his hair out, cursed everyone he had ever known. Exhausted, he sat huddled in a ball, staring at the wall.

Slowly, he stood. He stared at the wall. And calmly walked through as if it were nonexistent.

She was on the floor crying. He knelt, gathered her in his arms and said: You dont have to keep me out. I will never hurt you.



She smiled at him through her tears.
