Invitation.
Instead of a dusty trail strewn with rocks, the bridge offers a smooth surface to walk from one side of a chasm to the other. It eases the transition from our current reality to a future we have yet to encounter.
We all have these moments. A year ago I stood at the edge of a chasm, needing to leave behind commitments of more than twenty years. I still look back over my shoulder with sadness. But crossing the bridge has allowed me to begin to heal, and to glimpse a new place in the world that is calling to me.
Seeing this bridge, I could almost hear the invitation from a new world to take the next step, and the next.
