So many bridges.
Bridges of concrete…
…iron…
…and steel.
Ancient ones of stone…
…brick…
…mortar….
…and wood.
Some are famous…
…celebrated in story…
…and song.
Some draw pilgrims from all over the world.
So different…
…yet they serve the same purpose.
To span distance…
…to connect…
…to deliver us from troubled waters.
There’s an old saying…it is better to build bridges than walls.
