I found these wise words scribed on the John Lennon wall in Prague last fall and couldn't help but relate, as travel and the quest to know other cultures have been the most influential ventures in my life. Walking around the corner to meet this concrete screen, you feel the quiet presence of this montage—a compilation of peaceful, pleasant messages all emitting love and kindness. It feels romantic, timeless and eerie to lay down ink atop layers of other ideas and sentiments left by strangers, leaving your "mark," so to speak.
A beautiful thought conjured by a beautiful thinker.
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends."
