The barrier grows.
Our paths separate.
Eyes looking the other way.
Thoughts on different wavelengths.
Separation inevitable.

Description
Hear from Federal DEIA leaders on how EEO and Civil Rights laws have been enhanced with DEIA principles promoted in the federal workplace through President Biden's issuance of Executive Orders (EOs) which have advanced equity, civil rights, racial justice and equal opportunity throughout all of the Federal Government. In June 2021, the President specifically issued EO 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal Workforce so that Agency workforces reflect the diversity of America through its employment policies and practices to ensure that public servants at all levels have an equal opportunity to succeed and lead. This builds on other Equity-related EOs such as EO 13985 Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities through the Federal Government. The Federal Government is working to be a model for DEIA, where all employees are treated with dignity and respect through its recruitment, hire, professional development, career advancement and retention of the Nation’s talent with initiatives to remove barriers to equal opportunity. Hear how the Federal Government is ensuring accountability to assure a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplaces that yields higher-performing organizations.

Back in the summer of 1995, I first photographed the Barrier. At that time, I was using a Canon EOS 5 and black and white film. The summer of 1995 was a long, hot one and today it felt just the same.

Typographic rendering of a poem I wrote. Here is the original poem:
People build thick walls
To stop the hateful calls
Of the world around them.
Deceit and fear
Cause many to cast a blind eye
To all the evils in this place we live.
Gender and religion
Does humanity need to sign a petition
To break down the unseen differences we are told to see?
Body language and racist calls
Haunt the chaotic halls
Of our mind.
Politicians build those barriers
With bombs
And death
And their so-called “democracy”
When all of this MaDnEsS needs to stop.
Why are people afraid of each other
When we are so alike
You and I
He and she
Them and we
Remember what happened to the Berlin Wall
For all barriers are bound to fall.
A view of the Great Barrier Reef from Wavelength, the boat we went out on. The dark areas in the water are coral, and the bright blue areas are sandy. This spot is at the mooring on Opal Reef.

I didn't have to use my ticket to leave London Bridge station as the barriers were open - I'd found the same thing at Three Bridges station when I started my journey.
