Where the last remaining fragments of the Berlin wall stand as a monument to the city's past, on the opposite side of the River Spree, I kneel on the steps over-hung with archways to wash my hair. Foam gently mingles with the snow, as together they emit a white purity into clear, crisp winter air. People pass and do not see.
