this last week i visited el paso and juarez, two cities separated by a diving wall separating the usa and mexico. that wall now runs for miles and miles. i love this piece of street art – two sisters/dos hermanas which shows how they are really one. there is so much that unites them. like so many places where dividing walls are built it is hard to fathom. with a british passport i could go across the border and back. i was on a vision trip organised by street psalms. they have become good friends of ours, indeed like a sister to what we do in our network of pioneers and aspen community. we were hosted by abara who have a team on both sides of the border working toi build bridges and peace. they really do amazing work. do have a look at their web site where there are some really good blog posts. dive in with i have undrowned.

i have lots to ponder and a busy fortnight ahead so not sure how much i will blog but i have added an album of photos here which is more than i have doen from my trip to paraguay which i will also come back to!
