Bridges join separate pieces of land and enhance their separateness. They invite individuals from here to there and back again. Bridges become thresholds and turning points. Often symbolic of danger, mystery and enchantment, they shine with possibilities for story.
Spiders teach ways to span locations. Many bridges reveal similar lines.
In times of transition, bridges provide a view of what life looks like from another side of a river.
Bridges intrigue. They invite one to linger during the crossing, stop in the middle to feel the sway, and notice where the water meet the sky.
What bridges have you crossed recently?
Tap into your intuition. What bridge do you require right now?
H.W. Longfellow combines a threshold with a point in time in his poem, The Bridge
I stood upon the bridge at midnight,
As the clocks were striking the hour.
What happens next?
Creative Write: Focus your attention on bridges today figuratively and realistically. Write an intention to cross, swim or discover a different journey from one bank to another. Use Longfellow's lines to launch your story or poem.
