Bridges

There are many kinds of bridges.
There are bridges of the mind-conceptual and philosophic bridges.
There are bridges of the heart –
bridges of love, bridges of friendship and of the spirit.
There are bridges of vision –
bridges to the future, bridges of hope and of promise.
The building of a bridge begins –
not from one side, but from each side.
Flexibility is a must –
a rigid bridge will not long endure.
Patience is a necessity –
for to design a lasting structure takes time.
What makes the best foundation?
Where shall it be placed?
Why?
Nations building bridges – forge spans to
ideas
goods
people.
People build bridges –
use bridges
are bridges
to the future.
