Bridge to Where? To What?
I love bridges. They support us. They give cars, trucks, trains and other important modes of transportation access into areas over water or valleys. This little bridge goes over a small body of water and allows foot traffic to move across without a person going all the way around the pond.
I have walked on suspension bridges that took me over gorges and valleys. Those were very nerve racking indeed. They were not strong enough for vehicles. This bridge is much easier to navigate. This one was build as an Eagle Scout project several years ago and seems to be weathering well.
Some bridges allow us to pass from a place of danger to one of safety. They may make a trip quicker.
Some bridges like those in downtown Chicago fold up so barges can go through. Bridges have been used as temporary crossings or created during times of war. Others are worked on for several years to connect people from one village to another.
We create bridges for ourselves all the time. Some bridges allow us to connect with one another on emotional and spiritual levels. We network and discuss with each other. We decide which people are good to contact when we need help or have projects to complete.
What are the bridges you use? Are they helpful in making your life better? Are you aware of the people who help you navigate over rugged territory? Are you finding the contacts you need?
Bridges that lead to success may start out small. They can take the shape of education that lead to better careers. There are the bridges for professions. Music lessons, apprentice positions, cosmetology classes, on job training, or other specific hands on skills. Bridges don’t have to be physical in nature, but thinking in terms of reaching from on place to another helps us to navigate through life seeking /great joy.
