Building bridges is of course our answer to anyone who wishes to enclose us behind walls 26 feet high or to anyone who wishes to thrust us into a tribal war in the name of religion, the motherland or just fear.
Walls separating Israel from the Arab world; walls between Jews and Arabs; but also walls between various deprived groups; between peoples living as neighbors, who overnight become ?eternal enemies?.
And the global walls that Bush, Blair and Sharon want to erect between the ostensibly cultured world and the jungle of barbarians, slaves and the starving.

 Amazon.com: Walls and Bridges: Music: John Lennon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
My personal favorite John Lennon album is 1974's "Walls And Bridges," which may seem like an odd choice to some people since the album is considered to be one of John's "weakest" releases (and recorded during John's "lost weekend" period, when he was separated from Yoko Ono).
"Walls and Bridges" was the remains of the "lost weekend".
While "Walls and Bridges" doesn't measure up to Lennon's first two solo albums, it more than compensates with melodic, rich songs that feature some of the most interesting arrangements of any from his solo career.

The Los Angeles Times article reports on the "victory lap" of 10 years after "the Fall of the Wall" when the three architects of that event came together to be honored in Berlin for their cool-headed direction of that emotional drama.
Not walls of stone like the Berlin Wall or even the garden wall out your back door, but walls put up over time between family, friends and fellow Christians that appear just as formidable as any of the great walls of history.
Their wisdom echoes the millennial refrain, "This is the way, walk you in it," as they shouldered the opportunity not to resist the reality before them, but moved towards the future, together.

 Languages--Bridges and Walls to Communication - Jehovah's Witnesses Official Web Site
Colonization, trade between countries, and even confinement in concentration camps have caused people to feel the need to bridge the communication gap because of having no language in common.
However, when there are animosities between nations and ethnic or cultural groups, language ceases to be a bridge.
On one hand, the modern tendency is toward breaking down linguistic walls, primarily on account of mass media.

Walls and Bridges shows John Lennon to be as mercurial as ever.

As I perceive it, we are here today in spite of walls to try to build bridges, so that we might share in our common concerns.
I think one of the walls – obstacles – we have today is that we often try to overlook differences, or even pretend that they do not exist.
So, besides the walls of our differences there is another wall, one of ignorance, or at least selective choice of information.

 Bridges -- Not Walls
It is easier to win one heart at a time to your way of thinking than it is to try and convert a mob or a group of people all at once.
Victory is when a person says, "I will listen." Victory is when the heart is reached, a bridge is built, and a mind is opened to seek and understand.
One way to do this is through opening doors of communication to understanding others and why they believe such and also trying to educate them on the matter in a non-threatening format and attitude.

Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko Ono.
Lennon's personal life was scattered, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a mess itself, containing equal amounts of brilliance and nonsense.
Falling between the two extremes was the bouncy Elton John duet "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," which was Lennon's first solo number one hit.
