Bridge Over Troubled Water

Bridges

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down. 

- Lyrics from song by American folk duo Simon and Garfunkel

Friendship.

Empathy.

Love that can build bridges where there are none.

These come to mind every time I listen to the haunting lyrics of Bridge Over Troubled Water.

It makes me remember those times when I had felt small, but was assured that my darkest night was the bridge to the brightest tomorrow.

That there was always a bridge for finding lights in life.

That there had been an opening into the quiet beneath the chaos where I found calmness I did not think possible.

That I just needed to continue in the faith.

Maintain my peace in the midst of my storm.
