Ships don’t sink because they are surrounded by water. They sink when too much water gets inside of them.

The moral of the story: Don’t let what happens around you get inside of you and weigh you down.

Hope is like a balloon, it can’t soar to the heavens if you hold it by the string.

Walled-In is my story of growing up in Berlin during the Cold War. Juxtaposing the events that engulfed Berlin during the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, the Berlin Wall and Kennedy’s Berlin visit with the struggle against my equally insurmountable parental walls, Walled-In is about freedom vs. conformity, conflict vs. harmony, domination vs. submission, loyalty vs. betrayal.
