Bridges create interesting pattern changes. The business of life travels over instead of through other elements of life and nature. Bridges can leave places fairly undisturbed, and yet allow a glimpse, for those passing by, of a world that exists different from the bridge.
Bridges integrate the flow of humanity with the earth's topography. For all that we do try to shape and change the world to our use and our liking, there are times where we have to, or choose to compromise; where, for ease of access of speed of travel we bridge things.
What are we missing, I wonder, choosing the shorter, easier, more direct route? How is the world changed or impacted by our traveling on the bridge? The lily pads in the still water remain motionless and undisturbed as the busy world of man passes over.
How much quiet stillness goes unseen and inexperienced as man rushes across bridges towards purpose? There is oftentimes such a contrast in beingness between what is happening on the bridge and what is happening beneath the bridge.
