Bridge it...

I just read an article in SkyLife magazine about bridges. Flipping, tossing, and turning in my head are so many ponderings that they can’t help but get tangled and jumbled up with each other. I know I am going to churn out a very lame and bullshit post right now, but I really need to get this out.
I’ll start by quoting a passage from the article :
“ Bridges join two opposite shores. Some are suspended from steel cables, others are built of concrete, some are built of branches tied together, others no more than a tree trunk spanning the water. Some are called “suspension bridges”, others “stone bridges”. But whatever it is made up of, a bridge always signifies a coming together.”
( Akgun Akova. “Reaching the Other Side”)

It is said that bridges signify a coming together, a joining of two opposite shores. So when we say “I am trying to bridge the distance” what we actually mean is that I am attempting to forgo whatever it was that was adding to the river of grudges flowing with full force, overlooking the hurt and pain factor and trying with a clear conscience and a clean heart to build something over it that will help cross troubled waters and will be sturdy enough to withstand all that it may need to. Its not an easy task, building a bridge takes a lot and not just in the physical sense but in all senses of abstraction. The stronger it is to be made the stronger the effort required to make it. You put in all you’ve got, you work so hard it hurts and then someone just casually comes around and says “........”
And that is when you break. But then you try to knock some sense into their head and you tell them that if a standing bridge collapses, and when you rebuild another to replace it you are aware of where the water runs deep and dark and may end up flowing once again over the bridge and ruining it so you build it with better awareness and understanding of the calamities that might afflict it. You build it stronger than before, making sure you work extra hard on the foundation so that it can withstand anything and everything.
Yes indeed, bridges are meant to connect, to bring together and join two opposite shores.
